Agatti Island Airport, Agatti Island Information
The Agatti Airport serves the union territory of Lakshadweep. Located on the southern end of Agatti Islands, it is the sole airstrip in the archipelago that was constructed in 1987-88. The airport was initially housed in a temporary structure and it was in 2006 that the construction of related structures was commenced. Only the Turboprop aircraft can safely operate on the Agatti airport due to runway restrictions.
