Gateway to the Taj Mahal, serving Agra's historic heartland.

Location
Agra, India
Agra Airport, officially known as Agra Air Force Station (VIAG), is a civil enclave operating within a military airfield in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It serves as the primary air gateway to Agra, home to the iconic Taj Mahal and other UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The airport handles limited scheduled and charter commercial flights, with operations subject to military coordination as it is primarily an Indian Air Force base. Its civilian traffic is modest but strategically important given Agra's status as one of India's top tourist destinations. Due to its dual military-civilian nature, the airport has constrained infrastructure and operates under restrictions not typical of purely commercial airports. Expansion and improvement plans have been discussed over the years to better accommodate growing tourist demand.
Terminals
The airport has a single, small civilian terminal building with limited facilities to handle domestic passenger traffic.
Getting to & from
Taxis and auto-rickshaws are the primary ground transport options connecting the airport to Agra city and its major tourist sites, located roughly 7–10 km away.
Airlines here
