History
An Airstrip was built during World War 2 in Lalitpur, but has been defunct ever since. The state government had plans twice to develop the existing airstrip into an airport as there is a large amount of land around the airport. It is owned by the central government's Airports Authority of India.[1][2] Under the state's current chief minister Yogi Adityanath, the Uttar Pradesh Government gave approval for the development of an airport in Lalitpur in March 2021.[5][6] A previous attempt by former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav was made to develop the airstrip but the plans never took off.[7]
