Dhalbhumgarh Airport (IATA: none, ICAO: none) is a proposed domestic airport, which will serve the city of Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India. It will be built on a former World War II era airfield in Dhalbhumgarh in East Singhbhum district, about 60 km (37 mi) from Jamshedpur. The Government of Jharkhand and the Airports Authority of India (AAI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the construction of the airport on 24 January 2019.[1] Under the MoU, a joint venture company would be set up to construct the airport.[2][3][4] The project was initially expected to be completed by December 2020.[5]
Due to delays and the COVID-19 pandemic, the airport was expected to open by 2022, but construction had not started yet.[6][7] However, In December 2022, land acquisition for a 3.5 km link road connecting to the airport was started and the construction of the approach Road for Airport was completed in July 2023.[8][9][10][11][12][13] The construction of the airport is expected to start once it receives necessary forest clearance from the Forest Department of the State Government, which is still under progress.[14][15][16] Once completed, it will become the main airport for Jamshedpur and adjoining regions, by replacing the existing Sonari Airport.
