message: Bellary Airport - Bellary Airport - should not be in this list.  It is a defunct airport due to the very small runway there that cannot be expanded due to the airport being inside the city and there are no commercial flights to it. It is now a radar station as can be seen in that very article, as also corroborated here :
* https://indiasthan.com/place/karnataka/1313645/radar-station-airport-authority-bellary
* https://www.indracompany.com/es/noticia/indra-completa-implantacion-primeras-estaciones-radar-india  -  Kindly switch over to the English Translation version in this article since the default is Spanish.
As stated in Bellary Airport, it was converted to a Radar Station in 2011.  The nearest airport currently that serves Bellary is Jindal Vijayanagar Airport at Toranagallu.  Also, there is a new airport in the planning phase, as corroborated by the page Bellary (new) and therefore Bellary Airport - Bellary Airport - should be removed from this list. 117.254.35.233 (talk) 16:59, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you for looking in to this.  Some other airports listed in the International section doesn't mention that there are even seasonal international flights but have been designated as International Airport.  Case in point : Port Blair or Patna or Ayodhya.  In fact Patna at least is indicated with a tilde indicating that it is a Customs Airport but Port Blair or Ayodhya neither contain the tilde nor mention anywhere in their articles that they're Customs Airports.  At least Aurangabad has the tilde symbol on it, indicating that it is a Customs Airport (and, as corroborated in this Reference article : https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/aurangabad/international-cargo-passenger-services-likely-from-aurangabad-airport-soon/articleshow/80485850.cms which states in it "..... In 2014, the Aurangabad airport was declared a customs airport......), which qualifies it to be listed under the International section and is there.  Apparently there're seasonal Hajj flights as detailed in this Reference article : https://eair.in/airport/aurangabad-ixu and therefore the request to remove the duplication from the Domestic section because an Airport that is designated "International" is automatically domestic but not vice versa 117.252.109.252 (talk) 18:13, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

For example Bargarh, Dhenkanal which have no commercial flights to/from them and are owned by the State Government and some others that are either privately owned or owned by a Government Agency or Company that don't have any commercial flights to/from them such as Lanjigarh or Rayagada or Rairangpur which has a runway that is less than 1000 meters (750 or so meters long), that is short for any kind of flight to land on it, or Therubali which has a runway which is a little more than a kilometer long and is owned by the Indian Metals and Ferro Alloys Ltd (IMFA).  Ideally, we should have another section called Airstrips dedicated to these airstrips that are not technically Airports (which usually have an ATC building, a building dedicated to serving passengers, unique IATA and ICAO codes, etc.,). 2001:4490:4C35:12B3:45D:4BBE:DD6:D369 (talk) 18:43, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
