'''Chandrapur Airport''' {{Airport codes||VA1B}} is located at Morwa, 9&nbsp;km north-west of [[Chandrapur]], [[Maharashtra]], [[India]]. The airstrip was constructed in 1967 by the Public Works Department<ref>{{cite web |title=Airstrips in Maharashtra |url=http://www.mahapwd.com/statistics/airstrips.htm |publisher= Maharashtra Public Works Department |access-date=1 February 2013 }}</ref> and is spread over 22 hectares.<ref name = "TOI">{{cite news|title=State plans two greenfield airports at Solapur and Chandrapur |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-07-15/mumbai/28176965_1_greenfield-airports-flight-operations-airport-land |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130216065638/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-07-15/mumbai/28176965_1_greenfield-airports-flight-operations-airport-land |url-status=dead |archive-date=16 February 2013 |date= 15 July 2009 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date= 1 February 2013}}</ref> Neither navigational aids nor night landing facilities are available on the airstrip.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
The state run [[Maharashtra Airport Development Company]] (MADC) that operates the airport has no plans to expand the current facility citing obstructions close to the airport. The chimneys of the [[Chandrapur Super Thermal Power Station|thermal power plant]] to its west and [[overhead power line]]s all around the field restrict the scope of expansion of this airport.<ref>{{cite web |title= MADC Projects |url= http://www.madcindia.org/projects.html |publisher= MADC |access-date= 1 February 2013 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120226054653/http://www.madcindia.org/projects.html |archive-date= 26 February 2012 |df= dmy-all }}</ref> However, the government has plans of developing a greenfield airport at another appropriate site.<ref name = "TOI"/><br />
