Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (SVPIA) (IATA: AMD, ICAO: VAAH) is an international airport serving the twin cities of Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar in Gujarat, India. The airport is located in Hansol, 9 km (5.6 mi) north of central Ahmedabad. It is named after Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the 1st Deputy Prime Minister of India. The Airport is the busiest and largest airport in the Indian state of Gujarat.

In fiscal year 2020-21, it handled about 3.64 million passengers making it the seventh-busiest airport in terms of passenger traffic in India. [5] The airport serves as a focus city for GoAir. In 2015, the government started the procedure for the privatisation of the airport. New Dholera International Airport is being developed due to expansion constraints at the current airport.

History:
The airport was set up in 1937, while international operations began on 26 January 1991. It was categorised as an International airport on 23 May 2000.[7]

In March 2004, Ahmedabad gained a nonstop link to the United Kingdom, which is home to a large Gujarati community. Air India commenced a Boeing 747 service to London's Heathrow Airport, with Jet Airways joining a few years later.[8][9][10] However, both carriers decided to withdraw their flights in 2008.[10][11] Air India then began a route to Frankfurt, which lasted until the airline closed its hub in the German city in 2010.[12][13]

In 2010, the new terminal 2 was inaugurated for handling international passengers. A 18-foot-tall (5.5 m) statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was also inaugurated at the airport.[14][15] In 2015, the AAI invited proposals for privatisation of Ahmedabad, Chennai, Kolkata and Jaipur airports.[16] Air India reinstated direct services to London the following year.[17]

A 700 kWp rooftop solar plant was commissioned at the airport on 21 March 2017.[18]
