Gwalior Airport

Gwalior Airport (IATA: GWL, ICAO: VIGR), also known as Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Terminal, is a domestic airport managed and operated by the Airports Authority of India serving the city of Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is located in Maharajpura, 10 km (6 mi) north-east of Gwalior. It is one of the four major airports in Madhya Pradesh. The airport is named after Vijaya Raje Scindia, one of the founding members of Bharatiya Janata Party, former prominent Member of Parliament and Maharani of the erstwhile Gwalior State ruled by the Scindia dynasty. It is the oldest and largest airport of Madhya Pradesh in terms of size and only airport in Central India which has two runways. It is the closest airport to the famous Kuno National Park.

The airport is spread over 760.7 acres (307.8 hectares). The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has taken up the work for expansion of the airport. The new terminal building is spread over 20,000 m² (220,000 sq ft), completed in 16 months and can handle 1,400 peak hour passengers, which is 3 times more than the terminal building it replaced. Ancillary buildings, car parking, city-side development and other associated works were completed at the same time as the new terminal building together with the construction of the new apron and the taxiways, including associated works for parking of 13 narrow body or small aircraft at the airport. Rainwater harvesting and solar energy are used in the development of the new terminal building by the commissioning of a new 2.5 GW solar power plant.

The airport is the only terminal in India which has two operational parallel runways.
