Jagdalpur Airport(IATA: JGB, ICAO: VEJR) is a regional airport located near Jagdalpur, in the state of Chhattisgarh, India. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) conducted a pre-feasibility study in July 2013 for development of the airport[1] and approved of operations of aircraft under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions.[4] The airport was chosen for an upgrade under the Government's UDAN scheme and the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of a terminal building was performed in January 2017.[5][6]
The airfield was upgraded to 3C category in 2019, allowing the operations of ATR-72 type of aircraft.[7] On 21 September 2020 Alliance Air started flights to Hyderabad and Raipur using ATR-72 aircraft. Currently Jagdalpur airport name changed to Maa Danteshwari Airport, Jagdalpur (Bastar) on 21 September 2020. Currently Airport Director is Shri K. K. Bhaumik.
The district administration has floated a proposal to set up a new airport for Jagdalpur[8] in Ulnar village of Bastar district. This airport is expected to be set up in an area measuring 250 hectares. It would have a 3km long and 200 metres wide runway. The airport would also boast of a state of the art airport terminal building. Since about 92% (229 hectares) of the land required is owned by the government, the land acquisition process is expected to be quick leading to a faster development time for the airport.
