Birsa Munda Airport is a public domestic airport serving the city of Ranchi, India. It is located in Hinoo, approximately 7 km from the centre of Ranchi.
Air Sahara is planning to reinstate its Ranchi-Mumbai connection which was given away to the Delhi link. The Mumbai link was removed after schedule modifications posed challenges to its takers. Air Sahara officials are trying to reinstate the link in its original schedule, which was very popular then.
Additionally, the new low-fare IndiGo Airlines has also announced some packages for Ranchi.
