Gwalior Airport, Gwalior

Officially known as Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Airport, the facility is named after the prominent political leader and member of the Scindia royal family of Gwalior. It operates as a civil enclave within the Maharajpur Air Force Station, an airbase established in the 1940s that continues to serve as a critical military installation while hosting commercial aviation. According to Airports Authority of India data for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, Gwalior ranks as the 55th busiest airport in the country by passenger traffic, though it does not currently hold a global ranking. A significant milestone was achieved in March 2024 with the inauguration of a new passenger terminal, which was constructed in a record duration of 16 months to expand the airport’s capacity to 1,400 peak-hour passengers. This modern facility incorporates sustainable infrastructure, including a 2.5-megawatt solar power plant and extensive rainwater harvesting systems. As a primary gateway to a city recognized as a UNESCO Creative City of Music and a major heritage destination, the airport supports Gwalior’s role as a growing industrial, educational, and tourism hub in Madhya Pradesh. By providing enhanced connectivity through carriers like IndiGo and Air India Express, the airport facilitates economic growth and offers vital access for visitors exploring the historic Gwalior Fort and the region's rich archaeological landscape.
