History

The airport was built in the late 1950s. Indian Airlines commenced passenger operations by deploying Douglas DC-3 aircraft, and later in 1960 using their Fokker F-27 Friendship aircraft and by Hawker Siddeley HS 748 aircraft, and was also followed by Vayudoot. Gujarat Airways also used to operate flights to Mumbai until the airline ceased operations in 1999. After a gap of seven years, commercial services resumed in October 2006 with Air Deccan operating daily services to Mumbai, using an ATR-72 aircraft, until the airline ceased operations in 2012. After five years, SpiceJet commenced service again in July 2017 using the Bombardier Q400 aircraft to Mumbai, and to Delhi from 2021.
