## Overview

Welcome Maa Mahamaya Airport in Ambikapur, India, is a brand-new, rural-scale airport that feels more like a small-town bus stand than a bustling hub. After a staggering 20-year wait, locals are thrilled that it finally exists. Despite being operational, the airport accommodates only about 72 passengers at a time and lacks regular scheduled flights. This results in few crowds but also limited services, making it a naked, DIY affair. As of now, it serves more as a departure point for explorers venturing into Ambikapur and its scenic surroundings rather than a commercial epicenter. At a glance Sitting a modest 12 kilometers south of Ambikapur's city center, Maa Mahamaya Airport currently has no regular scheduled flights despite being licensed. The Main Terminal is notably sparse with almost no amenities. Travellers should prepare for the VFR-only flight operations aimed at enhancing regional connectivity, but for now, the airport operates on bare essentials. The terminal's modest capacity, designed to hold just 72 passengers, offers a hushed atmosphere quite different from larger airports.
