It is owned by the Airports Authority of India. It is currently being used for General aviation and pilot training.
The Indian Army intends to take over the airport and establish a training facility for the special forces.
The existing para-commando training facility at Nahan, Himachal Pradesh will be shifted to Bilaspur.
The Army wants use of the entire airport while AAI has made a “conditional offer” of parting with 377 acres while retaining 56 acres for a civil enclave.
Elevation of the airfield is 276 metres MSL. Runway 17/35 is 1535 metres long and 25 metres wide with turning pads at both ends. A 630 metre long taxiway connects the runway to a small Helipad cum apron.
