Datia Airport is a proposed airport located in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. The current airstrip does not have any scheduled services and is mainly used by private aircraft and air taxis.[3][4][5] There are plans to open a flight school at the airstrip.[6]

Expansion

[edit]

In 2023, Airport Authority of India started to upgrade the airstrip into a new airport which is also near historical Jhansi city of Uttar Pradesh.[7][8] The proposed airport is 29 kilometres away from Jhansi City and will serve both cities of Datia and Jhansi.[9] On 21 August 2023, India's civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia laid the foundation stone for the expansion of the airstrip into a full-fledged airport.[10]
