About Kailashahar Airport
Kailashahar Airport is a non-operational airport located at Kailashahar in the state of Tripura, India. The airport was shut down in mid 1990 due to lack of space.

In August 2023, a delegation led by Tripura's Transport Minister Sushanta Chowdhury visited the Kailashahar Airport and proposed to revive it. The renovation includes increasing the runway length of the airport by acquiring 700 meters of land in the northern part of the airport.
