Swami Vivekananda Airport

Swami Vivekananda Airport (RPR), serving Raipur and Chhattisgarh from Mana, began as a mid-20th century airfield with a modern civil terminal developed in the 2000s and today operates a single passenger terminal handling domestic traffic. As the state's busiest airport, it’s a medium-sized gateway with frequent connections across India and convenient road access roughly 12–15 km from Raipur city center, plus taxis, app cabs and regular bus links for easy onward travel. Budget-conscious travelers will find fares generally affordable compared with larger metros, and the airport functions as an important regional base for low-cost carriers such as IndiGo and SpiceJet while hosting other national carriers.
