Location
Latur, India
Murod Kond Airport, designated with IATA code LTU and ICAO code VALT, is a small regional airport located near Latur in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra, India. The airport is operated under the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and serves as a connection point for the historically significant and seismically notable Latur district.

Due to its small size and limited infrastructure, the airport handles modest passenger volumes and does not support wide-body or large commercial aircraft. Efforts to improve regional air connectivity under India's UDAN scheme have influenced operations at airports like Latur.
