The facility includes a 3,700-meter runway capable of handling large commercial aircraft, with two parallel runways allowing simultaneous take-offs and landings. Once fully completed, the airport is expected to handle over 90 MPPA.

Adani Airport Holdings Ltd, a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises, has been leading the project. The group entered the airport sector in 2019 and currently operates key airports in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Jaipur, Guwahati, and Thiruvananthapuram. According to the company, Adani Airports now manages 25% of India’s passenger traffic and 33% of its air cargo movement.
