History


Kadapa Airport terminal
Kadapa Airport terminal

The airport was constructed in 1953, and initially had a 3,500 ft (1,067 m) runway. In the 1980s, Vayudoot operated services to Kadapa from Hyderabad. The State Government and the Airports Authority of India (AAI) entered into a memorandum of understanding in March 2007 for developing the existing airports at Kadapa and Warangal to handle ATR-42 and ATR-72 type of aircraft.[6]

In 2009, a new 6,562 ft × 150 ft (2,000 m × 46 m) runway was completed under the Build, Operate and Transfer basis at a cost of Rs. 21 crore. In addition, an 11 km-long (6.8 mi) compound wall was constructed with an outlay of Rs. 24 crore. In the second phase, an air traffic control building, passenger terminal, parking bays and internal roads were built at a cost of Rs. 13 crore. Other facilities were developed at an estimated cost of Rs 8 crore.[7]

Scheduled commercial flights to the airport resumed on 7 June 2015 when Air Pegasus launched thrice weekly ATR 72 service to Bangalore.[4] However, flights were soon cancelled due to poor passenger loads.[8] In April 2016, TruJet introduced flights to Hyderabad, which were cancelled after a few months.[9]

Kadapa Airport was one of the 70 airports selected under UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik) to increase regional air connectivity. In March 2017, Trujet introduced daily flights to Hyderabad in September 2017, to Mysore via Chennai in November 2017, and to Vijayawada in March 2018.[10]
