The air force station is one of the largest airbases of the Indian Air Force (IAF) and has been synonymous with the Taj Mahal for over half a century.On 15 August 2007, the airbase celebrated its sixtieth anniversary.The station was opened during World War II as Royal Air Forces Station Agra and had a number of flying units located there. It was closed after the war and transferred to the Royal Indian Air Force. The prefix Royal was later dropped and the station was later renamed. Air Force Station Agra was established on 15 August 1947 and placed under the command of Wing Commander Shivdev Singh, who was the incumbent commander of the No. 12 Sqn. Based on the then present system of Commands, the airfield fell under the responsibility of the Western Air Command (WAC). The base remained under this Theatre Command for the next two decades. In July 1971 it was transferred to the Central Air Command (CAC), where it remains today.During its sixty-year history with the IAF, it has seen the likes of C-47 Dakotas, C-119 Packets, HS 748 Avros, AN-12s, AN-32s, IL-76s, Canberras, IL-78 MKI and now the Airborne Early Warning and Control/AWACS.The station now has the honour of holding the first inflight refueling aircraft Squadron in IAF service, with No 78 ‘Mid Air Refuelling Squadron’ (MARS) Squadron flying the IL-78MKIs.During World War II, the United States Army Air Forces Air Technical Service Command established a major maintenance and supply facility at Agra, named Agra Air Depot. The 3rd Air Depot Group serviced a wide variety of fighter, bomber and transport aircraft being used by Tenth Air Force and the Allied ground forces in Burma and Fourteenth Air Force in China. The depot stockpiled large amounts of material for shipment over the Himalayan Mountains (The Hump) by Air Transport Command cargo aircraft flying to forward airfields in China. It also was a major stopover point on the ATC Karachi-Kunming air transport route.The airport is mentioned in a chapter in Ernest Ganns Fate Is the Hunter, wherein he relays a story of coming with feet of destroying the Taj Mahal in a severely overloaded C-87 after takeoff.No. 50 Squadron IAF has been tasked with the operations of the newly inducted Beriev A-50E/I Airborne Early Warning and Control (AWACS) aircraft. The AWACS has been mounted on a specially designed IL-76 with advanced avionics & telecommunication systems.

Existing Airport in Agra, is named as Civil Air Terminal Agra. While the proposed new Airport is under process of Supreme Court approval and Land acquisition. Hence no Official order is there for Existing Airport to be Named as Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Airport.

Agra Fort is also called as a walled city and is also considered as the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is considered as a tourist attraction and attracts many tourists all over the world. It is the main residence during the region of Akbar.Construction along the bank of the Yamuna River was begun by Emperor Akbar in 1565 on the site of an earlier fort. Further additions were made, particularly by his grandson Shah Jahan, using his favourite building material – white marble. The fort was built primarily as a military structure, but Shah Jahan transformed it into a palace, and later it became his gilded prison for eight years after his son Aurangzeb seized power in 1658.Many impressive structures like Moti Masjid, Jahangir Mahal, Machchhi Bhawan, Diwan-I-Am, Diwan-I-Khass and Khas Mahal are present inside the Agra Fort.

Nice place . Clean environment

BJP promised in their election agenda that the will give Agra regional connectivity under UDAN scheme. But every winning election, they all disappear. Even proposed international airport has been shifted from Agra to Jevar near Noida because mostly BJP MPs MLAs have brought land in and around Noida. Seriously they dont have any interest in making as modern Agra. May be they will promise again before election.The funniest thing is all MLAs and MP in Agra from BJP, Jai ho,...

Good place IAF.

Great name great place great airport

The airport is good as per the location and connectivity to the city but has only two flights. Now new flights are about to introduce but still they are postponing the dates. One drawback of the airport is also that youve to walk a lot from the gate if you cant get the bus which is having an hour frequency.

Very nice place

The airport is under the control of military and in military fort. No private car is allowed, they provide an authorarised tuktuk instead with the price of 50rp/person.The access to airport is open only 2 hours before your flight, my flight was delayed so I had to stay outside to wait.It is required to check documents, lugagge 5 times in total. Staff in checkin counter seem not really proficient. It took 15 minutes to check my passport, flight reservation, luggage tags and to print my boarding pass. It might be explained that there are few flights from here with limited chance for them to practice those tasks.

Respected sir, provide me a respectable job.

After forming pandit deen dayal upadhyay airport in agra the tourist who visits india to tajmahel and other monuments such as fatehpur sikri , Itmad - ud - daula etc. in agra would be free of trouble that they face earlier. It will increase tourism in agra.

Best Tourist places India.

Good area in agra

Nice location but very few flight

I’ve been to many small airports, and they are often very charming and much less crowded than the busier airports in major cities. Here, for some reason, there are only certain taxis allowed on the grounds which charge 3x normal rates. Your other alternative is to walk to the main gate, about a mile away. There is a bus which will take you, but you have to pay to ride to the gate- even when no overpriced taxis are available in the airport. I am used to being overcharged as a foreigner but I’ve never been stuck inside an airport before! Please fly in somewhere else. I’m glad I landed in daylight hours and not at night, since I am traveling as a single woman. Completely unsafe.

Less connectivityOnly Jaipur flights.

17year duty of Indian army

I like really Agra,s Air force station its good place to live

NOT FOR COMMON PEOPLEShameful for state government that Such wonderful city no any direct flightsOnly political party can go thare

Change the name of this airport it doesnt suit to the city of Taj Mahal.

I was the only person at the airport. No airport staff visible. No food or shopping available. You are stuck on the Air Force base. It was fine for a short hop flight. Do not expect any amenities at all.

Nice airport within small area without big public transport

Lovely

The airport is in air force station area agra. You can come here if you have valid tickets with you because without it, you will not be allowed to enter the air force station area. The airport is not much developed as you compare with other airports in india.

Nice airport

They dont let your private cabs or taxi to come in for pickup and than the bus facility is also very poor , the bus takes almost an hour , it makes you wait soo much to drop off at the main gate of the airport and they even charge a quite high fare just for the drop off at the gate.

Nice good service

In July 1971 it was transferred to the Central Air Command (CAC), where it remains today.The airfield has remained unchanged, although many of the aircraft, squadrons, officers, and men have come and gone.

Today, it is hard to find a transport pilot who has not been at Air Force Station Agra at least sometime during his career; this trend will undoubtedly continue well into the future.The station now has the honour of holding the first inflight refueling aircraft Squadron in IAF service, with No 78 ‘Mid Air Refuelling Squadron’ (MARS) Squadron flying the IL-78MKIs.

I went to Agra on 2018 from new york I use taxi from delhli to Agra it was good

Occasional flight to Mumbai and Delhi but very good to visit on Air Force day

Great

Since while political parties playing with it, since while its not declared as an international airport.Shame on state and central government, after coming in power, just change the name Agra airport to Pandit Deen dayal upadhaya airport, shameful. Whenever we have to reached Agra, first land at Delhi then travel for 3 hrs, horrible.

Good

Very nice lookingNice safety and very nice cleaning

Not agree

No direct Flights for Agra. No commercial Aircraft operates from here, only VVIPs, Air force, and Film stars with Private planes can travel through this Airport

Respective community

Agra India

Small airport. No amenities. No taxis allowed. Basically forced into a bus that very very slowly travels a meager 1km to the gate of the airport while charging 32rps from each passenger. Huge scam.
