Historic city airport serving Bundelkhand region of India.

Location
Jhansi, India
Jhansi Airport, designated with ICAO code VIJN, is a small civil enclave airport located near the historic city of Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh, India. The airport sits within a defence establishment and has historically served limited civilian operations.

Despite this, scheduled commercial airline services at the airport have remained minimal or non-operational for extended periods. Efforts have been made under India's UDAN regional connectivity scheme to develop and operationalize the airport for civilian passenger traffic, aiming to better connect the region with larger Indian cities.
