Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Airstrip is an airstrip-aerodrome, situated at Partapur, 9 km south of Village Gagol of Meerut, in Uttar Pradesh, India.

The AAI had initially proposed the development of the airport to provide better air connectivity in the western parts of the state, which had already been assessed for upgrading to cater to scheduled operations.

The then Union civil aviation minister Ajit Singh had urged the state government in November 2012 to hand over the airstrip and an additional 427 acres to AAI for development.

The state government had issued a notice for appointing a consultant to prepare a comprehensive feasibility project report, a bid document and the concession agreement for the proposed airport.

The state government decided to have an international airport at Meerut based on a study conducted on the area's traffic density.
