Very soon Madhya Pradesh will have two new airports at Guna and Shivpuri. The announcement was made by Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia who revealed plans for the construction of two new airports to enhance air connectivity in the region. Each of these airports will receive a funding allocation of Rs 45 crore from the government.

These developments are set to improve accessibility to air travel and boost regional connectivity for the residents of Guna and Shivpuri cities. Guna is slated for development under UDAN 5.2, with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) dedicating a budget of Rs 45 crore for its realisation. The AAI will provide Aeronautical Information Services (AIS), Communications and Navigation Surveillance (CNS), and undertake Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services to ensure the efficient functioning of Guna Airport.

Similarly, Shivpuri Airport has been identified under UDAN 5.2, with plans to accommodate nine-seater aircraft upon its operations. Spirit Air, a new startup airline, has already expressed interest in providing connectivity from Shivpuri to Bhopal. AAI will extend its role as the O&M service provider for Shivpuri Airport, in addition to its responsibilities at Guna Airport. The Ministry of Civil Aviation has allocated INR 45 crore for the development of Shivpuri Airport.

These airport developments are expected to enhance regional connectivity in Madhya Pradesh, directly benefiting residents of Bhopal, Shivpuri, Guna, and neighboring areas. Beyond facilitating easier air travel, these initiatives are anticipated to stimulate tourism, trade, and commerce, consequently boosting economic activities in the region.
