Kalaburagi Airport

Kalaburagi Airport opened in 2019 and features a single modest passenger terminal serving as a regional gateway for north-eastern Karnataka and nearby areas. Small but strategically important, it was developed to boost connectivity for Gulbarga and surrounding towns, handling mainly domestic flights and short-haul routes. The airport sits roughly 15–20 km from Kalaburagi city and is reachable by taxi, app-cab services and occasional local bus links; car hire is the most convenient option for onward travel. Generally regarded as affordable for travelers thanks to budget airline services, it’s regularly served by carriers such as IndiGo, SpiceJet and regional operators rather than functioning as a major hub.
