Maa Mahamaya Airport — Ambikapur, India

Maa Mahamaya Airport, serving the town of Ambikapur in India's Chhattisgarh state, sits at 1,930 feet above sea level; current records list no active runway count for the field, reflecting its status as one of the newer or smaller airstrips serving this part of central India. Ambikapur sits in the northern part of Chhattisgarh, a state formed relatively recently out of what was previously part of Madhya Pradesh. A more direct air connection is the goal here, reducing reliance on the long road journeys that otherwise link Ambikapur to larger Indian cities.
