Kalaburagi Airport in North Eastern Karnataka bordering Hyderabad is
functioning round the clock from May 17 after the Directorate General of Civil

five years ago by the then Chief Minister of Karnataka B S Yediyurappa. It has a runway of 09-27

rules) to IFR (Instrumental flight rules) for All Weather Operations.
