Hisar Airport (IATA: HSS, ICAO: VIHR), officially known as Maharaja Agrasen International Airport [3] is a DGCA-licensed public airport serving Hisar in Haryana state of India. It is located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) northeast of the city center on NH-9. The airport is planned to be upgraded to an international airport by 2030. It will eventually see the development of a new MRO, aerospace university, aerospace and defense manufacturing industrial zone, logistics and food parks, etc. over an area spread across 10,000 acres (4,000 ha).[4][5][1][6] In 2021, the total cost of planned upgrade in 3 phases, including the actual spend and future approved allocations, is nearly ₹5,200 crore ($700 million).[7]

Hisar Airport is 165 km (103 mi) west of national capital's Indira Gandhi International Airport, 255 km (158 mi) northwest of Noida International Airport and 280 km (170 mi) southwest of state capital's Chandigarh International Airport.[8][9]

Hisar is a National Capital Region Counter Magnet City (NCR CMC) on the 'Hisar-Narnaul Industrial Sub-corridor' of Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project.[9] Under the National Capital Region Transport Plan, Hisar International Airport and Noida International Airport are being developed as an alternate within NCR to national capital Delhi's IGI Airport.[10][11]
