Mysore Airport — Mysore, India

Mysore Airport (MYQ), also known as Mandakalli Airport, serves the historic city of Mysore in the Indian state of Karnataka. Once a modest airstrip mainly used for flying training and small charter operations, MYQ has been upgraded over the years with an extended runway and a new terminal to accommodate commercial jet services. It primarily handles domestic flights connecting Mysore to Bengaluru, Chennai and other regional hubs, catering to tourists visiting the Mysore Palace, Chamundi Hills and nearby wildlife sanctuaries. Despite its small size, MYQ plays an important role in decongesting traffic from the larger Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru for travelers heading directly to this cultural capital.
