Formerly a private landing strip for JVSL employees, the airport was upgraded to receive its first commercial flights in December 2006, serving tourism and business interests in Bellary District.

History
Jindal Vijaynagar Airport was originally a private airstrip used by Jindal Vijaynagar Steel to transport senior employees to and from its adjacent steel plant.[5] In 2004, the Government of Karnataka agreed to allow commercial flights from the airstrip. The airport is located close to the tourist attractions of Hampi, and the State Government hoped it attract businessmen to the steel industry in Bellary. Bellary Airport was not used as its runway was too short and narrow, and there was no room to expand it.[6] Air Deccan announced it would commence flights from Bengaluru on 2 October 2004;[6] however, the route was not launched because of technical reasons.[7]
The State Government still required certain facilities to be installed at the airstrip, including additional navigational aids and an air traffic control tower.[8] JSW Steel began construction on a ₹25 crore (US$3.1 million) passenger terminal in 2006.[5] The airport was inaugurated on 3 November 2005 with Sajjan Jindal, managing director of JSW Steel, and several members of the State Government, including Governor T. N. Chaturvedi, in attendance.[9][10] Air Deccan conducted an inaugural flight to the airport on that day but did not begin routine operations until 1 December. The airline initially operated daily flights to Bangalore and Goa.[11][12] Air Deccan merged with Kingfisher Airlines in 2008 to form Kingfisher Red, which ended flights to the airport in early 2009 because of low occupancy.[13] Later, regional carrier TruJet began daily flight services to Hyderabad and Bengaluru. However, in 2018, the services were indefinitely stopped and were not resumed again. As of October 2022, Alliance Air has resumed daily flight services to Hyderabad and Bengaluru from 30 October 2022.[14]
Facilities
Jindal Vijaynagar Airport has one runway, designated 13/31, that measures 1,500 by 30 metres (4,921 ft × 98 ft).[12] The passenger terminal covers 190 square metres (2,000 sq ft) and contains a single check-in desk, security lane, baggage scanner and a waiting area capable of seating 50 people.[5]
