Latur Airport is a public airport located near Chincholiraowadi, 12 km west of the city of Latur, in the Marathwada region of the Maharashtra state in India.
History
Latur Airport was constructed in 1991 by the Public Works Department (PWD) and then handed over to Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation in April 2000, [1] During 2006–2008, it was upgraded at a cost of nearly Rs. 140 million, including a longer runway, New terminal building and car park. To push trade in the region, the Maharashtra State Industries Ministry initiated the process of modernisation of airports operated by MIDC in 2006. Tenders were floated to invite private parties to draw out a plan for airport operations.[2] as a result of which, the airport was leased to Reliance Airport Developers (RADPL), part of the Reliance Group that undertakes project management, implementation and operation of airports, who currently operate Latur airport along with Nanded, Baramati, Osmanabad
