Mundra Airport (ICAO: VAMA) is a private airport in Mundra, Kutch, Gujarat, India owned by Mundra International Airport Limited[1], a subsidiary of the Adani Group. The airstrip is spread over 45 hectares[6] and is used for scheduled as well as non-scheduled operations.[2]

The 1,900-metre long airstrip was built as part of the Mundra Special Economic Zone for operation of executive jets in January 2007.[7]

In October 2017, the Adani Group announced plans to develop the airstrip into a commercial international airport for passenger, cargo and Maintenance spread over 522 hectares[6] by investing ₹ 1500 crore. The terminal building will have a capacity of 300 passengers. The runway will be capable of handling of large aircraft like the Boeing 747 and will have night landing facilities. They have received environment clearance.[2][8] It will be commissioned by 2022.[6]

Under UDAN Regional Connectivity Scheme, Air Odisha started flights between Ahmedabad and Mundra in February 2018.[9]

On 23 June 2026, Jeet Adani, the youngest son of Gautam Adani, inaugurated the new terminal at the Airport,[10] while Star Air (India) became the first airline to launch scheduled commercial flight services from the airport.[11]
