Rajkot to have New Greenfield Airport by August 2022

The Hirasar Airport or Rajkot Greenfield International Airport is expected to be functional by August this year according to Rajkot District Magistrate.

This airport which is located 30 km from the industrial city of Rajkot, is being built in
four phases covering an area of 1,032 hectares. It will have a total of 14 parking stands with an area of the passenger terminal of 23,000 sq. m.

“There is very good progress in the construction work and this airport should be functional by August or September this year. About 85% of work on the runway
is complete,” the Rajkot District Magistrate, Arun Mahesh Babu said.

“Once the new airport gets functional, the number of flights can be increased to up to seven in an hour. People of the region will get benefits from this airport for travel related to foreign tourism studies and visit by the NRI population who will now be able to come directly to the Saurashtra region instead of having to take multiple connecting flights,” the Rajkot DM said.
