}}Bilaspur Airport {{Airport codes|PAB|VABI}} is located at the village of Chakarbhatta, 10 km south of Bilaspur, in the state of Chhattisgarh, India. It is owned by the Airports Authority of India. In 1980s, airport was used by Vayudoot to provide flights to Bhopal and Delhi. Currently there is no commercial scheduled flight from the airport. It is currently being used for general aviation and pilot training.[1] On December 6, 2018 Bilaspur Airport got the commercial licence from Directorate General of Civil Aviation (India) for operating commercial flights.[2]

History

Built in 1942-45 by the Royal Air Force (RAF), it was used as landing area during World War II. It was used by 267th Squadron RAF, 96th Squadron RAF, No. 10 Squadron RAF. After independence, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) took control of the airport , followed by the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

The Indian Army intends to take over the airport and establish a training facility for the special forces. The existing para-military commando training facility at Nahan, Himachal Pradesh is to be shifted to Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh.[3][4] The Army wants use of the entire airport while AAI has made a "conditional offer" of parting with 377 acres while retaining 56 acres for a civil enclave.[5]

There are two additional airstrips near Bilaspur

1) Kota Road/Kargi Road unused since the Second World War. These are under the Defense Ministry. Mohanbhatha, Chhattisgarh 495112, Coordinates: 22.242859, 82.026388

2) Mulmula, Chhattisgarh Coordinates: 21°56'44.0"N 82°20'42.6"E - Private airstrip/helipad of Raymond/ Singhania Cement Factory

Structure

Elevation of the airfield is 276 meters above mean sea level.

Runway 17/35 is 1535 meters long and 25 meters wide with turning pads at both ends. A 630 meter long taxiway connects the runway to a small Helipad cum apron.

The runway is small for commercial aircraft like Boeing 737 and Airbus A 320, which need a 2,090 mt. (6,860 ft.) takeoff distance. This means low-cost carriers like AirAsia India and GoAir, which use a single plane type, cannot serve the airport unless the runway is upgraded.
