Shravasti Airport( IATA : VSV, ICAO : VISV) is a domestic airport, which serves the city of Shravasti, Uttar Pradesh, India. [3] It is near an important Buddhist pilgrimage site, where The Buddha is believed to have spent 24 monsoons in this city. Numerous stupas, monasteries and several temples near the archaeological site of Sahet-Mahet establish Buddha's association with Shravasti. The airport is being developed by upgrading the existing airfield, which was used only by the Government and VIPs, in three phases. [4] [3] It covers an area of 57 acres, and has a terminal building, an Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower, an apron for parking of two 19-seater Dornier 228 aircraft, a fire station and a runway.

Under the UDAN scheme, flights to and from Shravasti and Lucknow is now operational, and in near future more flights to and from New Delhi Varanasi, Prayagraj and Kanpur will be started.
