Warangal Airport also Mamnoor Airport (IATA: WGC, ICAO: VOWA) is located at Mamnoor, Warangal in the state of Telangana, India. The largest airport at the time, remained in service until 1981. The Government of Telangana is trying to revive the airport with some instate services. Around 1,000-acre (4.0 km2) of land are available for the proposed airport.
History
Warangal Airport, the largest pre-independence era airport, was built at Mamnoor in Warangal district, in 1930. It was commissioned by the last Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan, along with one at Solapur, to benefit the businesses, at Kagaznagar for the paper industry's convenience, and to help industries like the Azam Jahi Mills at Warangal. Numerous PMs and Presidents have landed at the airport until 1981. Many cargo services and Vayudoot services have also used it as their hub.
= Revival plans
=In September 2020, the Government of Telangana planned to acquire 200 acres of additional land around the airport for its revival. The state government also requested the Ministry of Civil Aviation for the airport to be included in the Government of India's UDAN scheme. In October 2022, Government of Telangana allocated another 250-acre (1.0 km2) to Airports Authority of India (AAI) for the airport. Already, 700-acre (2.8 km2) has been allocated by the government.
New push is made for the Warangal Airport to be revived via the UDAN scheme in 2022. Again, in 2023 a joint inspection team was formed to expedite the survey process.
On 31 July, 2023, following a new survey, the State Cabinet of Telangana approved the proposal to develop Mamnoor Airport. The proposal calls for the acquisition and subsequent allocation of the last 253 acres of required land to the Airport Authority of India for purposes of constructing a terminal building as well as extending the existing runway to accommodate larger aircraft such as the Boeing 747.

Warangal Airport was the largest airport in the country at the time, with 1,875-acre (7.59 km2) in land, a 2 km runway, a pilot and staff quarters, a pilot training centre and more than one terminal.
