Raja Bhoj International Airport — Bhopal, India

Raja Bhoj International Airport serves Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh in central India, at an elevation of 1,711 feet with a single runway handling both domestic and limited international traffic. The airport's name honors Raja Bhoj, the 11th-century Paramara king traditionally credited with the region's early development, including the large lake around which much of modern Bhopal is built. Bhopal itself is known as the City of Lakes, and the airport sits within reach of both the old city and the newer administrative districts that make up this central Indian state capital. Madhya Pradesh occupies a large, landlocked stretch of central India, and Bhopal's airport functions as an important connecting point for a state without any direct coastal access. Scheduled flights link Bhopal to major Indian metros including Delhi and Mumbai, supporting both government and business travel tied to the state capital's administrative role. A modest amount of air cargo also moves through the field, tied to the electrical equipment and textile manufacturing that anchor Bhopal's local economy.
