History

The airstrip was constructed during 1987?88 for operation of Dornier 228 type of aircraft and was inaugurated on 16 April 1988. Initially, the terminal was housed in a small temporary structure. Construction of the terminal building, Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower and related structures commenced in 2006. However, the construction of the terminal building was stopped midway due to the proposed extension of the runway. After the works were completed, Air India Regional began services with ATR-42 aircraft on 24 September 2010 connecting Agatti with Kochi. The resurfacing of the runway was completed in November 2010. The airline was renamed later as Alliance Air, which now operates its ATR-72 aircraft from the airport to Bengaluru and Kochi.
