Datia Airport
Airport in Madhya Pradesh India
Datia Airport is an domestic airport located in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. The airport currently has two scheduled services connecting Bhopal and Khajuraho, and is mainly used by private aircraft and air taxis. There are plans to open a flight school at the airstrip.
Expansion
In 2023, Airport Authority of India started to upgrade the airstrip into a new airport which is also near historical Jhansi city of Uttar Pradesh. The proposed airport is 29 kilometres away from Jhansi City and will serve both cities of Datia and Jhansi. On 21 August 2023, India's civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia laid the foundation stone for the expansion of the airstrip into a full-fledged airport.

Why this record matters
“Datia Airport” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Datia, Airport and Madhya provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q97933170. Authority coordinates are 25.650, 78.503. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
