Murod Kond Airport

Murod Kond Airport, officially known as Latur Airport, is a domestic airport serving Latur city in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra. Situated at an elevation of 2,136 feet above sea level, the airport was revitalised under the Indian government's UDAN Regional Connectivity Scheme to improve air access to this historically and culturally significant but underserved region. The airport plays a crucial role in connecting Latur's agricultural and industrial economy to major Indian cities, offering residents a faster alternative to long road or rail journeys.

Travel tips

• Arrive at least 60-90 minutes before departure as security queues can be unpredictable during peak regional travel periods.
• Book Star Air flights early, especially around agricultural harvest seasons (October–December) when business travel from Latur peaks.
• Carry cash as ATM availability is limited to one machine inside the terminal; not all vendors accept digital payments.
• Pre-arrange your taxi or auto-rickshaw, especially for early morning or late evening flights, as local transport can be sparse.
• Latur experiences very hot summers; travel during October to March for a more comfortable experience while visiting nearby heritage sites.
• Check flight status in advance as UDAN routes at smaller airports are occasionally subject to schedule changes or seasonal frequency adjustments.

Development: Under the UDAN scheme, connectivity from Latur Airport is being progressively enhanced with plans to add more route connections to cities such as Pune and Nagpur. The Airports Authority of India has identified upgrades to the terminal and runway infrastructure to accommodate increased regional traffic.
