  • Chettinad Airport, also known as the Karaikudi Kanadukathan Airport, is an abandoned airport near Karaikudi. Chettinad Airport is named for its location in the Chettinad region. The land surrounding the airstrip is now barren, but the runway of this airstrip is still in working condition with no damage. It spans Approximately 2000 meter Length and 1500 width. It looks like Latin Cross from top view. It has 2 runways which is left undamaged till date. The peoples of Chettinad pioneered India's Flying Club. Chettinad Airstrip Boasted one of the India's first Flying Club in 1930's itself. This airport served as a Primary Hub airport of Jupiter Airlines around 1953 which was operated by Alagappa Chettiar at that time, later the airline company is closed and so the airport left in disuse. The airstrip was used by the British Government (United Kingdom) as an airbase during World War II. Fighter planes from Royal Air force would land at this airstrip to refuel and reload the bombs and also there was a helipad at that airbase. It housed DC3, the Hawker Hurricanes and the spitfires at that time. Nearest functioning airport to karaikudi is Madurai International airport and Tiruchirapalli international airport. But both airports are located at a distance of approximately 100 kms (by Road) from this town. The Government of India plans to construct a new airport at Chettinad under the UDAN scheme. Once opened, this airport serves the districts of Sivagangai, Pudukkottai and Ramanathapuram. And also serves many religious cultural places present around this area. Currently this land is being owned and maintained by the Tamilnadu Animal Husbandry Department. (en)
