About Kishangarh

Presently, Kishangarh Airport is served by only one airline – Star Air. It operates flights to Nagpur (NAG), Pune (PNQ), Lucknow (LKO) and Ghaziabad Hindon (HDO).

Kishangarh Airport was inaugurated in 2017 as part of the Indian Governmentโ€™s Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS). SpiceJet was the first airline to start operations, but as with many other destinations in its network, it has stopped operations there. The airport is not that big, with a 2000-metre runway and an apron capable of handling two ATRs simultaneously. The airport primarily serves Kishangarh city as well as the holy cities of Pushkar and Ajmer, both located nearby.

IndiGo may be targeting connecting passengers through its Ahmedabad hub as well as O&D (Origin & Destination) traffic between Ahmedabad and Kishangarh. There are only a handful of destinations which see just a single daily or twice-daily ATR flights, with some of them being Diu, Shivamogga, Bikaner and Pondicherry, & now Kishangarh joins that list.
