Mehsana Airport is a civil aviation training base in Mehsana, Gujarat, India.[2][3] It is used for non-scheduled operations.[4][5]
An abandoned airfield was developed by the
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad prior to shifting its training activities to Mehsana Airport in 2007.[7]
The airport was at the centre of a dispute between its owners and the Mehsana Municipality, which closed access the facility twice in 2010 due to non-payment of taxes. However, AAA Ltd contended that it is not liable to pay the taxes stated. The facility was reopened after the Gujarat High Court ordered the same.[7]
