History
Plans for the development of a civil enclave at Ambala were approved under the UDAN regional connectivity scheme.[4]
In October 2023, the foundation stone for the civil enclave and terminal building was laid at Ambala Cantonment.[5] The airport project was developed on land transferred from the defence authorities for civilian aviation use.[6]
By 2025, the airport terminal building and supporting infrastructure had been substantially completed. Haryana cabinet minister Anil Vij stated that the airport was awaiting inauguration and commencement of commercial flight operations.[7]
Infrastructure
The airport has been developed as a civil enclave within the premises of Ambala Air Force Station. The terminal building is designed to handle regional domestic passenger traffic under the UDAN scheme.
The airport uses the existing runway infrastructure of the Ambala Air Force Station.
