Raja Bhoj Airport (IATA: BHO, ICAO: VABP) is a domestic airport and a seasonal international airport serving Bhopal, the capital of the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. Named after the 10th century Paramara king, Raja Bhoj, it is the second busiest airport in Madhya Pradesh in terms of passenger and aircraft movements. It is the largest airport in the state by area. It is located in Gandhi Nagar, 15 km (9.3 mi) away from Bhopal Junction railway station in the city centre, and 20 km (12 mi) away from Habibganj railway station in the south of the city. The airport is also near the intersection of National Highway 46 (NH-46), which forms a ring road around Bhopal, and State Highway 18 (SH-18), which connects Bhopal to Indore.
The airport will have a Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility due to its advantageous central location in India.[4]
Development
Runway
The Government of India considered the airport to be expanded to international standards to handle the rising traffic and demands. In 2010, the runway length was increased to 2,744 metres (9,003 ft), making it possible for larger aircraft to land in the airport.[5] The first direct seasonal international flight from the airport was to Jeddah, a Hajj charter flown by the national carrier of Saudi Arabia, Saudia, on 23 October 2010 for Hajj travellers.[6]
Renewable Energy
In 2013, the airport became the first airport in the state to use solar power to run its utility grid system. A 100-kilowatt solar power plant was made operational in June 2013, with plans to install a 2-megawatt solar power plant at the airport in the future.[7] The airport has night landing facilities, an Instrument Landing System (ILS) and CAT VII fire services.[8]
Cargo and Logistics Hub
A new air cargo hub with 17 acres of land sanctioned near the airport is planned. The old terminal building is being redeveloped into a cargo complex to increase cargo operations from the capital airport. The temporary air cargo complex was inaugurated in October 2019.[9]
Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility
The airport has been selected as one of the eight new destinations to set up Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facilities in India. The airport's central location throughout the country provides ample growth and logistics prospects for the facility. Construction began in 2021 and is expected to be completed by 2024.[4]
Immigration Checkposts and International Flights
In September 2019, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) started the process of granting international status to the airport.[10] In November 2019, a joint central team composed of members of the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Civil Aviation visited the airport to review the arrangements in starting immigration facilities, and did not find any major hurdles.[10]
As of December 23, 2023, the airport has been classified as an authorized immigration checkpost for entry or exit from India.[11]The airport has also been notified as a customs airport by the CBIC on March 13, 2024.[12]
Selfie Point - Say Yes To Life
In September 2022, the airport established a selfie point to glorify the importance of difficulties in life. The airport supported the campaign Say Yes To Life run by an eminent psychiatrist based in Bhopal, Dr. Satyakant Trivedi, who is also a member of the suicide prevention task force of the state.[13][14]
Integrated Terminal
The integrated terminal building worth ₹135 crore (US$16 million) was inaugurated on 28 June 2011 by the then Minister of Civil Aviation, Vayalar Ravi.[15] The Government of Madhya Pradesh had given 400 acres of land for the construction of the international terminal. The terminal building is spread over 26,936 square metres (289,940 sq ft) and has 14 check-in counters, 4 immigration counters for departures, and 6 immigration counters for arrivals.

It also has twenty-two customs counters, 11 for arrival and 11 for departure, and six X-ray machines for security.[8] The terminal now also has a restaurant and a few retail stores that were developed as part of the Airports Authority of India's (AAI) scheme of the master concessionaire. The terminal is connected to four aerobridges. A new Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower was inaugurated by the airport authorities on March 1, 2024, built at a cost of ₹40 crore (US$4.8 million). It is now the tallest ATC tower in the state, at a height of 32 m (105 ft). At the initial stage, it will operate for only 2-3 hours, as testing will be underway. It will replace the existing ATC tower by shifting all operations to the new tower by April 2024.[16]
