Rajkot International Airport starts functioning

Great news for travelers in Gujarat as Rajkot International Airport officially commenced its flight operations today. This brand-new airport, strategically located on the Rajkot-Ahmedabad highway, promises to bring enhanced connectivity and convenience to the region. Situated just 30 kilometers from Rajkot City and the pre-existing Rajkot Airport, this development marks a significant step forward in Gujarat's aviation infrastructure.

The inauguration of Rajkot International Airport is expected to have a transformative impact on travel in the region, offering passengers improved accessibility and services. To further enhance the passenger experience, the state government has taken the initiative to operate a daily bus service from the ST bus stop to Rajkot International Airport. Commencing at 6 AM and running at two-hour intervals throughout the day, this service ensures that travelers can reach the airport with ease.

One notable aspect of this inauguration is the closure of the existing Rajkot Airport by the Airport Authority of India (AAI).

This move aligns with AAI's prior announcement that the older airport would cease operations once the new Greenfield airport became fully functional. The closure of the old airport underscores the commitment to modernizing and optimizing air travel facilities in the region.

Rajkot International Airport's strategic location is poised to play a pivotal role in improving regional connectivity, facilitating business and tourism, and contributing to Gujarat's economic development. Travelers can look forward to a more seamless and efficient air travel experience with this state-of-the-art facility.

As Rajkot International Airport takes flight, it signifies a new era of air travel in Gujarat, promising to meet the growing demands of passengers and the region's evolving aviation landscape.
