Kanpur Airport (IATA: KNU, ICAO: VECX), is a domestic airport and an Indian Air Force base that serves the city of Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, India.

It is located at Chakeri, about 17 km (11 mi) from the city centre, and operates from a new civil terminal.

It provides connectivity to major tourist and historical attractions in the area such as Bithoor, Sankissa, Etawah Safari Park, Kalinjar Fort, Kalpi, National Chambal Sanctuary, Bhitargaon and Kannauj.

It was too small to handle the increasing traffic into Kanpur and projected future demand.

The airport also hosts the Transport Aircraft Division (TAD) of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) which previously produced HS 748 Avro and currently manufactures Dornier 228 for Indian Armed Forces as well as commercial market.
