'''Chandrapur Greenfield Airport''' is a [[greenfield airport]] to be built at Vihirgaon, 40 kilometres south of [[Chandrapur]], Maharashtra, India.<ref name="PFR">{{cite web|url=http://environmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/TOR/14_Dec_2018_174401870WFGAD4IKPre-Feasibilityreport-AAI.pdf|title=Pre-feasibility report|publisher= Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India |access-date= 12 July 2019}}</ref>
The [[Maharashtra Airport Development Company]] (MADC) is the nodal agency for the project.<ref name="TOI1">{{cite news | url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/decks-cleared-for-new-airport-in-chandrapur/articleshow/63945715.cms | title=Decks cleared for new airport in Chandrapur |newspaper= [[The Times of India]]| date= 28 April 2018 | access-date= 12 July 2019}}</ref>
The airport will be developed in two phases. The first phase will be built on 720 acres of land, with a 2000 metre runway capable of handling turboprop aircraft like the [[Bombardier Q400]] and [[ATR 72]]. In the second phase, the runway will be extended to 3000 metres to accommodate narrow-body jet aircraft like the [[Airbus A-320]].
The [[Airports Authority of India]] submitted its pre-feasibility report in January 2018, approving the site for the construction of a greenfield airport. Following this, the State government gave approval for the project and sanctioned funds for acquisition of 463 acres of private land and other administrative process.
The land acquisition for the airport is expected to be completed by the end of financial year 2020/21.<ref name="DNA1">{{cite news|url=https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-shirdi-airport-s-prospects-soar-as-maharashtra-govt-okays-development-plans-2770690 | title=Shirdi airport's prospects soar as Maharashtra govt okays development plans |newspaper= [[Daily News & Analysis]]| date= 11 July 2019 | access-date= 12 July 2019}}</ref>
