Travel tips

  • Arrive at least 90 minutes before departure as the terminal handles limited flights per day and security queues can be unpredictable on peak days.
  • Pre-book your taxi or cab in advance as app-based services may have limited availability outside the airport, especially during early morning or late evening flights.
  • Carry cash for local transport such as auto-rickshaws, as many operators in Hisar do not accept digital payments.
  • Check flight status in advance as services at smaller regional airports like Hisar can be subject to schedule changes, rescheduling, or seasonal suspension.
  • The nearest major airport for wide-body international connections is Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi, approximately 160 km away via NH-9.
  • Hisar has a semi-arid climate; carry water and light clothing in summer (April–June) and a warm jacket for winter evenings (December–January).

Development: Maharaja Agrasen International Airport is earmarked for comprehensive infrastructure upgrades including a new integrated terminal building, expanded apron, and customs & immigration facilities to operationalise international flights. Under the UDAN scheme, the airport continues to receive attention for increased regional connectivity linking western Haryana to major Indian metros.
