Warangal Airport (Mamnoor Airport) is currently non-operational for commercial flights, having ceased operations in 1981 after serving since 1930. Environmental clearances are nearly complete, with construction contractors selected through competitive bidding. Once operational, the airport will accommodate Airbus A320 aircraft with a proposed 2. 9-kilometer runway for Category 4C operations and IFR capabilities. Weather considerations include monsoon seasons affecting construction timelines and future flight operations. The project will boost tourism to Kakatiya dynasty sites including UNESCO World Heritage-listed Rudreshwara (Ramappa) Temple.
The Central government waived the exclusivity clause restricting development within 150 kilometers of Hyderabad airport. Modern terminal amenities will include digital check-in kiosks, premium lounges, food courts with local cuisine, and parking facilities for 500 vehicles. The revival represents significant economic development with planned connections to Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai through airlines including Akasa Air, TruJet, SpiceJet, and Vistara. The Telangana government provided 253 acres of land to AAI, with project costs estimated at โน850 crore including terminal building, air traffic control tower, and modern ground support equipment. The facility's revival aligns with regional development plans including textile industries, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and educational institutions that require improved air connectivity.
Historical operations included Vayudoot regional service to Hyderabad and Vijayawada until 1987. The Airport Authority of India has approved comprehensive redevelopment under the UDAN scheme with construction planned to begin by March 2026 and reopening targeted for 2030. The airport's strategic location provides easier access than the 150-kilometer journey to Hyderabad, reducing travel time for business and leisure travelers. The facility will serve Warangal's metropolitan population over one million and provide air connectivity for north Telangana including Karimnagar, Khammam, and Adilabad districts.
