Vidyanagar Airport, Regional airport in Toranagallu, India.
Vidyanagar Airport is a regional airport in Toranagallu, Karnataka, with a 1,589-meter asphalt runway. The modest terminal building handles daily passenger traffic and provides basic facilities for arriving and departing travelers.
The airport opened in 1997 as a private facility for JSW Steel plant employees. In 2006, Karnataka's government took over operations and converted it into a public commercial airport.
The terminal connects travelers to historic destinations like the ancient city of Hampi and major industrial regions of Karnataka.
The airport sits near the industrial city of Bellary and is easily reached from the surrounding area. Regular flights connect to Hyderabad and Bengaluru, making travel to the region straightforward.
The airport was built adjacent to a steel plant and serves both purposes: supplying the factory and public air travel. This dual role as an industrial and commercial facility is uncommon for a regional airport.
