Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport

Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport (VAID) is a medium airport in Indore, India. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code VAID or IATA code IDR. It sits in Asia.

Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport lies at 1,850 ft elevation.

Local operations run on Asia/Kolkata. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
