Bidar is one of India's oldest military air bases, serves as a training school for Air Force pilots, and is the home of the Surya Kiran Aerobatics Team (SKAT). In pursuance of the long-pending demand for a civilian airport in Bidar, the Indian Air Force agreed to allow commercial flight operations, with a civilian terminal built in 2008-09 ahead of the Guru-ta-Gaddi celebrations at the Guru Nanak Jhira Sahib.
