Vadodara International Airport — Vadodara, India

Gujarat's industrial hub relies on Vadodara International Airport, coded BDQ, serving a city once known as Baroda before India's post-independence renaming wave. Elevation is 129 feet, with one runway in operation. BDQ connects Vadodara to Delhi, Mumbai, and other major Indian cities, underpinning a local economy built around chemical, engineering, and manufacturing industries. Despite the international designation, its international flight schedule has historically stayed limited, with the bulk of traffic remaining domestic in nature. The airport's single-runway configuration manages that demand today, while plans for terminal upgrades periodically surface as Gujarat's air travel market keeps growing alongside the state's broader industrial base and rising middle-class travel demand. Vadodara's long history as the former capital of the old princely state of Baroda under the Gaekwad dynasty still shapes the city's identity today, and BDQ also carries a meaningful and steadily growing share of air cargo tied to Gujarat's chemical and pharmaceutical export industries.
