Amravati Airport Secures DGCA License, Mumbai Flights to Begin Soon
The Amravati airport, located in Belora, has finally been granted an aerodrome license by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) marking a significant step towards enhancing regional air connectivity in Maharashtra.
Alliance Air is scheduled to commence flights from Amravati to Mumbai by the end of the month, as announced by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The airport, initially developed by the Public Works Department in 1992, remained unused for public purposes until recently.
The Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC) has undertaken substantial upgrades, including an extended runway and other regulatory improvements, to meet licensing standards. This initiative aligns with the Maharashtra government’s larger plan to expand its aviation infrastructure, which also includes airports in Chandrapur, Dhule, Shirdi, and Navi Mumbai.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced on X that the Amravati airport has been granted an aerodrome license, a crucial step that will allow commercial flights to operate from the airport. This development is significant as it will improve regional connectivity and boost economic opportunities in the area.
