The maiden flight has touched down at Dholera International Airport, a milestone for the greenfield airport being built to serve the Dholera SIR and the wider Ahmedabad region.
A greenfield gateway
Planned as a dual-use airport with cargo and passenger capacity, Dholera International is designed to grow in phases alongside demand from the industrial region around it.
What comes next
With the runway proven, the focus moves to terminal readiness and the start of scheduled cargo and passenger operations expected later this year.
- Maiden flight completed
- Cargo and passenger operations to follow
- Direct road link via the new expressway

An operating airport a short drive from Shivaay Xpress Way strengthens the case for the corridor as an industrial and residential destination, not just a construction site.
