General data
History
IRB Infrastructure won the bid to develop the airport in 2009 for a concession period of 95 years. The project received environmental clearance in March 2012. Work on the airport was completed in the second half of 2013, and was expected to be completed by August 2014, but had been delayed for years because of issues in acquiring private land, among others.
Construction was completed by the second half of 2018 and a test flight from Mumbai landed on 12 September 2018 on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi. The airport received its aerodrome licence for commencing commercial operations from the DGCA in September 2021. The airport was subsequently inaugurated on 9 October 2021 and an Alliance Air ATR 72 operated the first flight to Mumbai. Alliance Air was awarded the Sindhudurg-Mumbai route under the UDAN 3.1 of the central government's regional connectivity scheme.
In July 2023, Fly91 was awarded routes to Hyderabad and Bengaluru under Round 5 of the UDAN scheme and commenced operations in March 2024.
