Hisar Airport (IATA: HSS, ICAO: VIHR), officially known as Maharaja Agrasen International Airport existing as domestic airport presently under upgrade by 30 March 2024, [3] is a DGCA-licensed public airport serving Hisar in Haryana state of India. It is located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north-east of the city center on NH-9. Hisar is a National Capital Region Counter Magnet City (NCR CMC) on the 'Hisar-Narnaul Industrial Sub-corridor' of Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project.[4]

The airport is under expansion and upgrade to an international airport, MRO, aerospace university, aerospace and defence manufacturing industrial zone, logistics and food parks, etc. spread across 10,000 acres (4,000 ha).[5][1][6] In 2021, the total cost of planned upgrade in 3 phases, including the actual spend and future approved allocations, is nearly INR5,200 crore or US$700 million.[7]

Hisar airport is 165 kilometres (103 mi) west of national capital's IGI Delhi Airport and 280 kilometres (170 mi) southwest of state capital's Chandigarh International Airport.[8][4]

Background

Location

Hisar is a Counter Magnet City within the National Capital Region inside the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project (DMIC).[9] The main gate of the airport will be relocated to Hisar–Barwala–Chandigarh NH 52.[10]

Hisar Airport lies in the north of Hisar city. Nearest airports are Sirsa Air Force Station 84 km or 45 nautical miles northwest, Bhiwani Airport 56 km or 30 nautical miles southeast, IGI Delhi International Airport 152 km or 82.1 nautical miles southeast, and Chandigarh International Airport 193 km or 104 NM northeast.[1] Nearest railway station is Hisar Junction railway station 2.9 km south, nearest defence area is Hisar Military Station 7 km east, nearest university is GJUST 50 metre across the highway in south, nearest protected forests are Hisar Deer Park and Shatavar Vatika Herbal Park both abutting the airport.[1]

History

In 1948, first airstrip was built in Haryana when Ambala Air Force Station was established.[11]

In 1965, construction of 194 acres (79 ha) Hisar airfield commenced,[11] which was completed in 1967 and it became operational in the same year.[1]

In 1970–71, a privately managed air service was introduced on Delhi–Patiala–Hisar–Delhi route, which was terminated after a period of 6 months due to lack of financial viability.[12]

In 1999, Hisar Aviation Club was merged with Haryana Institute of Civil Aviation (HICA). The airport is managed by HICA, which provides flight training using light aircraft.[11] In 2002, the Delhi Flying Club (DFC) shifted all its flying activities and aircraft to Hisar from Safdarjung Airport in Delhi.[13]

In May 2017, the Taj International Airport, at Jewar (56 kilometres (35 mi) from Noida) in Gautam Budh Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh, was granted approval by the union government cabinet as the second airport for the NCR, to be built by 2022–23 with a capacity to handle 30-50 million passengers per year. Politicians of Haryana protested against this decision for ignoring Hisar airport for the development.[14][15][16][17]

On 27 Sept 2018, Hisar became Haryana's first DGCA licensed airport.[4]

In September 2019, SpiceJet training academy at Hisar airport was announced, which will train 100 pilots every year.[18][19]

On 26 July 2021, Chief Minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar, announced that the airport will be named after the Maharaja Agrasen.[4] It has been renamed as the Maharaja Agrasen International Airport.[3] This will boost tourism to religious and archaeological sites of Agroha Dham and Agroha Mound respectively.[20]

Phased development

Land for airport

The airport is being developed on more than 7,200 acres (2,900 ha) land. The 4,200 acres (1,700 ha) Beed Hisar land contiguous to the existing airstrip was transferred to the airport in June 2017.[22] Additional 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) contiguous land of Government Livestock Farm in the Talwandi Rana village, next to Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, was also transferred to the airport for developing the commercial, industrial and hospitality zone of integrated aerocity.[10][23] This 3000 acre land around Talwandi Rana Minor Canal lies between Hisar–Barwala–Chandigarh NH–52, Delhi–Hisar–Sirsa NH–9 and Hisar Northern bypass.[10]

Multi-model transport hub and surface connectivity

Bus station and multi-model last-mile connectivity

In Hisar city itself, the airport is about 4 km from the bus station along the National Highway 9, 5 km from the city center and 6 km from the Hisar Junction. Plans are under way to relocate Hisar Bus station to the land immediate east of airport to create an integrated rail-bus-aero transport hub, which will also have a logistics park, last mile connectivity via taxis, car park, etc.

Roads
Expressways and highways

Airport lies on Delhi bypass in Hisar city on NH 9 Abohar-Delhi route, which was upgraded by 2020 to six-lane barrier-free access-controlled expressway to enhance its connectivity with Delhi.[5] The NH 52 Chandigarh–Rajgarh–Jaipur, which also passes next to the airport, was also upgraded to six-lanes by 2020. There are plan to

  • NH-9: will be expanded to 8-lanes with increase in the traffic due to aerocity, cargo airport and logistics hub, etc.[30]
  • Hisar-Narnaul-Alwar-Mathura/Gwalior Expressway:
    Upgrade route to National Highway with additional lanes, via Hisar-Mangali-Shahrwa-Kairu-south of Jui, north of Badhra - Akoda (spur from upgrade Akoda to Rewari Sh to NH) - existing NH (Mahendragarh-Narnaul to NH148B-NH48 junction) - Harsora - Badli (with spur Badli-Khairthal-Kishangarh- then underground tunnels between Damookar-Thons and Sarpur-Ferozepur Jhirka) - upgrade existing SH-14 to Mathura (Badli-Alwar-Deeg-Mathura), upgrade existing SH-45 to NH (Feroepur Jhirka-Nadbai), greenfield Nadbai-Uchain-Jindpura), upgrade SH23 to NH (Nagla/Bharatpur-Jindpura-Dholpur), greenfield Nadbai-DarhraMod-Beerampura-Kakraua, upgrade SH43to NH (Bharatpur-Kakrua-Ranpur/Dhaulpur), greenfield Ranpur-Rahe-Jaura bridge over Chambal river and to Gwalior NCR CMC.
Other roads

NH-52 Hisar north bypass at Talwandi Rana, via Dhansu-Mirzapur, to NH-9 Hisar bypass near Geeta Colony east of GJUST widening and strengthening of road to provide alternative connectivity was already completed by 2021.[21]

Railway

In phase-II the railway services at Raipur will be upgraded for the passenger services and cargo handling including sliding.[21] Additionally, Hisar-Delhi semi-highspeed train will be run once the construction of Hisar-Hansi link is completed. In phase-III, an underground integrated railway station will be constructed at the airport and semi-highspeed train will be extended to airport via Hisar Junction railway station.[46] DPR for double-tracks of broad gauge rail from Raipur railway halt to airport dry port area was ready in August 2021 and it will be constructed as part of Phase-III.[30]

Hisar Airport rail line will be a new greenfield short extension from the existing Hisar–Jakhal line to Airport integrated transport hub. DPR will be ready soon (dec 2018 update).[46][23] Airport will have an underground railway station, and Indian Railways has agreed to commence the construction with the commencement of phase-III of airport.[47]

Once the under construction Hisar-Hansi line is completed, 200 km/hour semi-high speed Hisar-Hansi-Rohtak-Bahadurgarh-IGI Delhi will be operated which will run at an average speed of 160 km/h and will travel the distance between Hisar Airport to IGI Delhi in one and half hours, and an underground railway station will be constructed at the Hisar airport for the integrated transport hub.[25][48][3] This may require upgrade/replacement of existing or laying of additional new line between Hansi to Asaudha (near Bahadurgarh on Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor).[49] This will also connect to the Delhi–Alwar Regional Rapid Transit System near Gurugram via Haryana Orbital Rail corridor.

Present status
