History

The foundation of Kangra Airport was laid down by Virbhadra Singh, the then Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, on 15 October 1986. The first scheduled operation at this airport was by Vayudoot with a Dornier 228 in 1990. Subsequently, other airlines like Jagson, Air Deccan and Kingfisher also operated from the airport. In 2001, the airport was renamed Kangra Airport. In March 2007, the runway was extended from 910 to 1,370 m (3,000 to 4,500 ft) and a new terminal building was inaugurated.
