Kanpur Airport, Commercial airport in Chakeri, India
Kanpur Airport sits in the Chakeri district and handles domestic connections through a modern terminal with adjacent hangars used for different types of aircraft. The site includes runways and facilities serving both civilian and military aviation.
Military workshops were established here to support the transport fleet and later expanded to include civilian flight connections. Over time the facility grew into a mixed base for aviation industry and passenger traffic.
The airport administration proposed naming the facility after Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi, recognizing the contributions of this Indian freedom fighter and educator.
The terminal offers check-in counters and a waiting area for travelers taking domestic flights. Access comes through a multi-lane road connecting the airport directly to the regional highway network.
A transport aircraft division manufactures light planes here for both military and civilian use. This production takes place alongside regular flight operations.
