Nashik Ozar Airport, Nashik

Nashik Airport, officially referred to as Ozar Airport, is located within the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited complex in the state of Maharashtra. It has maintained its geographical name since its inception, primarily serving as a military and manufacturing airstrip before transitioning to include civil aviation. The dedicated passenger terminal was inaugurated in March 2014, effectively replacing the limited commercial functions of the older Gandhinagar Airport, which could not accommodate larger aircraft. According to 2023-2024 data from the Airports Authority of India, the facility ranks among the country's mid-tier regional airports, handling over 115,000 passengers annually, though it does not feature in global traffic rankings. Significant milestones in its development include the 2014 terminal completion, which provided a capacity for 300 peak-hour passengers, and the 2023 implementation of night landing facilities to enhance operational reliability. The airport serves as a vital link for Nashik, which functions as a prominent industrial hub, the wine capital of India, and a major religious center hosting the Kumbh Mela. By providing air connectivity, the airport supports the city's diverse roles in manufacturing, viticulture, and spiritual tourism, bridging the gap between the northern Maharashtra region and major domestic economic centers.
