Expansion
editIn 2023, Airport Authority of India started to upgrade the airstrip into a new airport which is also near historical Jhansi city of Uttar Pradesh.[7][8] The proposed airport is 29 kilometres away from Jhansi City and will serve both cities of Datia and Jhansi.[9] On 21 August 2023, India's civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia laid the foundation stone for the expansion of the airstrip into a full-fledged airport.[10]
