A year after Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off the first commercial flight from Maharaja Agrasen Airport in Hisar, the airport is preparing to add two more destinations to its growing network.
Since the launch of operations on April 13, 2025, flights from Hisar have operated to Ayodhya and New Delhi. Services to Jaipur and Chandigarh were added later in September by the Haryana Chief Minister. In the past year, the airport has handled over 1,000 flights across these four destinations.
Airport Director OP Saini described the first year as successful and said expansion plans are already underway. He informed that flights to Jammu and Ahmedabad are likely to begin from May this year.
Highlighting recent upgrades, Saini said the airport has introduced non-precision runway visual range (RVR) facilities from April 16, enabling aircraft to land with visibility of up to 1,800 metres.
“One of the major development in one year is the grant of instrument flight rules (IFR) licence to the airport that allows the airport to operate flight operations in low visibility or night landing,” Saini said, adding that earlier operations were limited to visual flight rules (VFR). With the new system in place, the airport can now support round-the-clock operations.
