Ambala Airport Coming Soon

The civil enclave at Ambala Air Force Station is entering its final stages of preparation under the UDAN regional connectivity scheme.

Current Project Status

Infrastructure & Terminal: The passenger terminal building and apron/parking facilities adjacent to the Air Force station are largely complete, designed to handle around 200 peak passengers using the existing runway infrastructure.
Security & Clearances: Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and DGCA inspections have taken place. Minor modifications and compliance works (including security infrastructure adjustments through PWD tenders) have been addressed to obtain final aerodrome licensing.
Operations: Official commercial operations will commence as soon as the final operating license is awarded and airline schedules are slotted.

Key Planned Routes (Under UDAN)

Initial proposed connectivity targets regional religious, tourist, and commercial circuits:

Ayodhya
Varanasi
Srinagar & Jammu
Shimla & Dehradun
Lucknow & Jaipur

Once operational, the civil terminal will significantly reduce travel time for commuters across Ambala, Kurukshetra, Yamunanagar, and neighboring parts of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh who currently rely solely on Chandigarh (Mohali) or Delhi airports.
