Historic civil aerodrome serving Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
Location
Kanpur, India
Kanpur Civil Airport (Old), designated with ICAO code VIKA, is a civil aerodrome located in Kanpur, one of Uttar Pradesh's largest industrial cities in northern India. The airport historically served limited civilian aviation activity in the region before newer facilities were developed.
The airport has largely been supplanted by Chakeri Air Force Station (also known as Kanpur Airport, IATA: KNU, ICAO: VICX), which handles scheduled commercial operations for the Kanpur area. VIKA is considered the older civil facility and currently sees minimal or no scheduled commercial traffic.
Given its limited operational role in recent years, detailed public information about the airport's current infrastructure, passenger capacity, and facilities is scarce.
