'''Bhiwani Airport''' {{airport codes||VIBW}}, also called '''Bhiwani Air Strip''', is a public airport adjacent to [[Gujrani]] village in the [[Bhiwani district]] of the Indian state of [[Haryana]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.maplandia.com/china/airports/bhiwani-airport/|title=Bhiwani Airport Map|work=maplandia.com}}</ref>

==History==

In 1948, first airstrip was built in Haryana when [[Ambala Air Force Station]] was established.

On 31{{nbsp}}July, 2013, the [[Chief Minister of Haryana]] announced that the [[Government of Haryana]] had applied for an expansion of the civilian airports namely [[Hisar Airport]], [[Karnal Airport]], Bhiwani Airport, [[Kalka Airport|Pinjore Airport]] and [[Narnaul Airport]]. Approval was granted by the central government for plans of the [[Hisar Airport|Hisar Domestic Airport]] and Karnal Domestic Airport. Discussions with the central government also considered setting up an additional cargo airport in the state.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2013/20130801/main2.htm|title=The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - Main News|work=tribuneindia.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://cityairnews.com/content/two-new-airports-be-set-hisar-and-karnal-hooda|title=Punjab News Live, Headlines, Channel Live, Online, Live - Sikh News TWO new airports to be set up in Hisar and Karnal - Hooda - City Air News|work=cityairnews.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Haryana/Center-government-okayed-civil-airports-at-Hisar-and-Karnal/Article1-1101336.aspx |title=Center government okayed civil airports at Hisar and Karnal |work=hindustantimes.com/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130807085313/http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Haryana/Center-government-okayed-civil-airports-at-Hisar-and-Karnal/Article1-1101336.aspx |archive-date=7 August 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gspan1.com/thread-159738.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=1 August 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.is/20130801023906/http://www.gspan1.com/thread-159738.html |archive-date=1 August 2013 }}</ref>

In July 2014, a [[Right to Information]] (RTI) request revealed that the [[Directorate General of Civil Aviation (India)]] (DGCA) had never received a formal proposal from the Congress [[Government of Haryana]] and there were no plans to upgrade the airport.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/RTI-query-nails-Haryanas-claims-about-airports-at-Karnal-Hisar/articleshow/36843481.cms|title=RTI query nails Haryana's claims about airports at Karnal, Hisar|work=The Times of India}}</ref>

==Flights==
Currently, the airport has no scheduled commercial flight operations. The [[Haryana Institute of Civil Aviation]] (HICA) does not offer flying training nor preparation courses.

== Infrastructure ==
As of {{when|date=September 2019}}, airport has one hangar, a VIP lounge, day landing facilities and no night landing facility.
One washroom,one lantri,one too let

==Future development==
[[Captain Abhimanyu]], Finance Minister of Haryana, while presenting the [[Government of Haryana]] 2018-19 budget in March 2018 announced that the funds have been allocated to extend the existing 3000 feet runway to 5000 feet and parking hangar for the spillover aircraft from [[Indira Gandhi International Airport|IGI Delhi airport]] will be constructed.<ref name=abhify19>[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/live-updates-haryana-budget-2018/articleshow/63228377.cms haryana budgest 2018-19], [[Times of India]], 9 March 2018.</ref>

As of January 2019, extension of runway is underway. The night landing facilities and hangar will also be built as airlines have approached the Haryana government to park their spillover "Non-scheduled Air Operations" (NSOP) aircraft from the congested IGI airport at Delhi to Bhiwani and Narnaul airport. Consequently, all five existing government airports in Haryana will be developed to have runway of at least 5000 feet, night landing and parking hangars.<ref>[https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/haryana/all-five-airports-in-state-to-be-developed-expanded/710300.html All five airports in state to be developed expanded], The Tribune 8 January 2019.</ref>
