Faizabad Airport (Hindi: फैज़ाबाद एयरपोर्ट, Urdu: فیض آباد ہوائی اڈا) is a Flying school and Domestic airport situated in Faizabad city between the NH 28 and NH 96 at Sultanpur Naaka in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Erstwhile 'Faizabad Air Force Station', but now has been redeveloped as a civilian airport. Meant to serve Faizabad and adjacent holy city of Ayodhya.[1] The Uttar Pradesh government has issued formal orders allowing the landing and parking of private aircraft on the airstrip against a certain fee. According to the government order, any private aircraft can land by paying a fee of Rs 500. There will be no parking charges for the first two hours, after which Rs 200 will be charged per day.[2]

The government is giving this airstrip to private investors for setting up their pilot training institutes and aircraft maintenance engineering institutes. “The fresh government order for landing and parking is an extension of that project, because now the government will not have to bother much about activities like maintained, which will be taken care of by the institutes,” said Swaroop. The procedure followed earlier to obtain permission for using the airstrip used to be a long one. The owner of the private aircraft had to contact the respective district magistrate who would further contact the directorate which would take the measures required for landing of the aircraft. Now, according to the new order, the directorate will only give its nod and the institutes will take care of the rest.In 2003, the state government had issued similar orders exclusively for people from the film industry. The charges were Rs 200 per landing along with Rs 1,000 per day for shooting at the air strip. The airstrip was, however, never used for shooting. The government has also decided to give subsidy in the landing and parking for ‘cross- country flying’ purposes, which means flying trainer aircraft from one aerodrome to another. Such aircraft will be charged half of the normal landing and parking fee, which will be Rs 250 for landing and Rs 100 per day for parking after two days of free parking. [3]
