The plan to expand the Mamnoor airport in the warangal district by acquiring 253 acres of additional land for the construction of a terminal building and an expansion of the current runway has been authorized by the State cabinet as of Monday. In june of this year, a survey for purchasing more land for the airport expansion was finished. Land from the Khila warangal Mandal villages of Nakkalapalli, Gadepalli, and Mamnoor, which have been recognized as being ideal for airport development, is required for the airport's expansion.

The warangal District collector recommended a solution where the government would transfer land, now under the control of PV narasimha Rao Veterinary university close to Mamnoor village, to the relevant Tahsildar as compensation for the impacted farmers. In exchange, the AAI would buy and receive the farmers' lands. The goal of this exchange is to make it possible for the airport to accept larger planes like the Boeing 747 by extending the present 1.8 km runway to 3.9 km.

The reopening of the warangal airport has been eagerly anticipated and is anticipated to make a substantial contribution to the growth of the area, particularly in light of the nearby Kakatiya Mega Textile Park (KMTP). The airport is positioned to promote tourism and attract investments by giving residents of warangal and the adjacent areas access to the air.

The warangal airport is significant historically since the indian Air Force used it in World war II while the Nizam ruled the country. It was first built in the 1930s. The Mamnoor airport had stopped operating in 1981, but the telangana government has been actively striving to revive it since 2018.
