[edit] History
The Airport was constructed in 1953, is spread over 600 acres of land and has a 4,000 feet long runway. In the 1980s, Vayudoot operated services to Kadapa from Hyderabad.[1] The State Government and the Airports Authority of India (AAI) entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in March 2007 for developing the existing airports at Kadapa and Warangal to handle ATR-42 and ATR-72 type of aircraft [2]
[edit] Upgrade
A new 2 km runway was completed at a cost of Rs 21 crore in 2009 [3] and new Air Traffic Control and passenger terminal buildings are being constructed. Other facilities at the airport too will be developed at an estimated cost of Rs 8 crore. The airport is being developed on a build, operate and transfer (BOT) basis.[1]
