Agra Airport (IATA: AGR, ICAO: VIAG), also known as Kheria Airport, is a domestic airport and an Indian Air Force base serving the city of Agra, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. The air force station is one of the largest airbases of the Indian Air Force. On 15 August 2017, the airbase celebrated its 70th anniversary. The airport has been proposed to be renamed after Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, a renowned independence activist, social reformer and leader.
To meet the growing demands and traffic, the airport will get a new terminal building that will be much larger than the existing terminal, leading to enhanced connectivity and socio-economic growth in Agra and the rest of the state. Its foundation stone was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in October 2024. Construction is set to begin by the second half of 2025, and is slated to be completed by the end of 2027 or by the first half of 2028.
