Bentayan Airport serves Ujjain, IN.
It appears there is some ambiguity regarding the operational status of "Bentayan Airport (VE85)" in Ujjain, India, as a commercial passenger airport. Multiple sources indicate that Ujjain does not have its own operational commercial airport. The nearest major commercial airport serving Ujjain is the Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport (IDR) in Indore, located approximately 53-65 kilometers away.
While some listings refer to a "Bentayan Airport (VE85)" as a small airport or a private jet airport in Madhya Pradesh, and there are general directory entries for "Ujjain Airport", there is a lack of conventional traveler reviews and experiences for a currently operational commercial airport at this location.
Recent reports from August 2025 indicate that a proposed airport at Ujjain is slated for development in two phases, with construction expected to begin soon. The first phase aims to establish a 2,600-meter runway for 72-seater regional aircraft, along with a passenger terminal and night landing facilities, with completion targeted before the upcoming Simhastha festival. This further suggests that a fully operational commercial airport with extensive traveler reviews is not currently in service in Ujjain.
Therefore, it is not possible to provide a summary of recent traveler reviews and experiences for Bentayan Airport (VE85) in Ujjain, IN, as there is no evidence of it being a currently functioning commercial passenger airport with public traveler feedback. The available information suggests it is either a non-commercial airstrip, a private facility, or an airport currently under development.
