Rajkot Airport, Domestic airport in Rajkot, Gujarat, India
Rajkot Airport was a domestic airfield in Rajkot with a runway, passenger terminal, and ground facilities for regional flights. The facility operated standard boarding infrastructure and handled general aviation traffic.
This airfield opened in the 1960s as a regional hub for domestic travel in Gujarat. Commercial service ended in 2023 when flights relocated to the new Rajkot International Airport at Hirasar.
The airport represents a connection point for travelers exploring the traditions, textiles, and architectural heritage of Gujarat's Saurashtra region.
The location sits near the city center and is accessible by local transportation. Visitors should note that commercial flight operations halted in 2023, with the site now serving only general aviation.
Surrounded by residential neighborhoods, the cramped location blocked any possibility of growth. This proximity to homes and streets made upgrading facilities increasingly difficult over time.
