Dhule Airport (ICAO: VA53) is located at Gondur village near Dhule, Maharashtra, India. This airstrip was constructed in 1974 by the Public Works Department and was transferred to the Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC) after its formation in 2002. The Bombay Flying Club leased the airstrip from the MADC and shifted its training operations here in 2009 to avoid the congested air-space of Mumbai.
A 150 metre long taxiway connects the runway to a small terminal building and a hangar. Night landing facility is now available and an ATC tower also has been built. Commercial operations will be starting soon in the coming future.
