The AAI campus sits at Dabok, about 22 km (14 mi) east of the city. Owner and operator is the Airports Authority of India (AAI). Official passenger page pattern: https://www.aai.aero/en/airports/udaipur. Screenshot UDR (VAUD) ≠ JAI (Jaipur) ≠ JDH (Jodhpur) ≠ KQH (Kishangarh) ≠ BKB (Bikaner) — the wrong Rajasthan IATA is a multi-hour Aravalli / desert road day, not an airside hop. This is a pure AAI public domestic field — not a passenger enclave on an air-force or naval base. - >- One live passenger terminal (~12,000 m²; opened February 2008; public summaries cite two aerobridges, four check-in counters, and ~600 peak-hour passengers) still handles all scheduled check-in, CISF, and boarding. A new ~40,000 m² integrated terminal (~₹887 crore; foundation October 2023) was still under construction through mid/late 2026 — MoSPI / Udaipur Times completion targets moved between June and September 2026; a late-July 2026 ministerial share cited ~93% complete. Treat new-terminal CGI, “inaugurate this year” soundbites, and international-route talks as future capacity — not today’s second passenger campus. Charter / defence shells on older campus maps are not scheduled check-in. - >- Traffic (AAI annexes for FY 2025–26 / 1 Apr 2025–31 Mar 2026, as compiled on Wikipedia and local AAI-data wraps from archived Mar2k26 Annex II–IV PDFs): 1,819,531 passengers (+10.2%), 13,823 aircraft movements (+0.02%), and 589.2 t cargo (+71%). Prefer AAI annex PDFs when auditing. Among Rajasthan’s three main AAI fields in FY 2025–26, Udaipur carried about 21% of the combined Jaipur–Udaipur–Jodhpur passenger total on Bhaskar English’s AAI-data wrap. - >- Airfield (Wikipedia / AAI-facing technical summaries for VAUD): single runway 08/26 — 2,743 m × asphalt; aerodrome elevation about 513 m / 1,684 ft; campus about 504 acres; apron historically cited for five B737 / A320-type stands plus a later executive / private apron; CAT-I ILS with DVOR / DME / NDB on public summaries. DigiYatra is not confirmed live here — Jan/Feb 2025 local coverage and an April 2026 DigiYatra airport list still treat Udaipur as upcoming, not commissioned. Do not invent biometric e-gates from tender titles that merely list the airport. - >- Lounges (live Priority Pass India directory, checked Sep 2026): no Udaipur / Maharana Pratap / UDR soft-lounge pin. Priority Pass paths under /lounges/india/udaipur (and similar name variants) resolve to the national India index and do not expose a Udaipur airport page or named soft room. Do not invent Plaza Premium / Primus / Travel Club / Golden Chariot / Airr soft pins from aggregator or stale bank-brochure mirrors — some issuer lists still print a “Golden Chariot” name at UDR, but that is not a live Priority Pass soft directory pin; confirm any bank-direct lounge on the card app the day you fly. - >- Ground: prepaid taxi / signed app cabs remain Plan A for the Dabok run into City Palace / Lake Pichola / Hiran Magri / Railway Station (often ~35–60 minutes in normal traffic; confirm the board / app quote). Udaipur City railway station and Rana Pratap Nagar are separate road transfers — there is no passenger rail or metro platform inside the terminal. Late nights default to prepaid / app cabs. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: Compact 2008 hall — still budget one strip and tourism banks detail: >- UDR’s February 2008 terminal is easy to read, but the field remains a single-runway domestic station with wedding / leisure peaks, monsoon weather on 08/26, and a new terminal still not the live check-in map as of Sep 2026 reporting. DigiYatra is not a confirmed live product here — plan for full CISF queues. Domestic ~2 hours early is the sane default. There is no Priority Pass soft room to absorb a delay stack. summary: Small hall helps; one runway plus tourism banks still need real buffers. category: timing - label: Terminal title: 'One live 2008 hall — new ~40,000 m² campus is still construction' detail: >- Screenshot UDR ≠ JAI ≠ JDH ≠ KQH ≠ BKB before the car leaves Udaipur / Rajsamand / Chittorgarh / Nathdwara. All scheduled passengers still clear the ~12,000 m² February 2008 terminal (two aerobridges / four check-in on public summaries). MoSPI / local press still had the ~₹887 crore / ~40,000 m² integrated terminal targeting mid/late-2026 completion — not today’s boarding. Live Priority Pass directory = no Udaipur soft pin. summary: Single live passenger hall; no PP soft lounge. category: terminal - label: Food title: Landside sealed water is Plan A — there is no PP soft room detail: >- Buy sealed water and snacks landside before CISF; airside café markup is the usual Indian-airport tax. Live Priority Pass India index has no Udaipur lounge page — ignore Plaza Premium / Primus / Travel Club / Golden Chariot inventions presented as Priority Pass soft pins. summary: No live PP soft room; landside bottles beat airside pricing. category: food - label: Access title: 'Prepaid taxi Plan A — Dabok is ~22 km east, no terminal metro' detail: >- Use official prepaid taxi counters in arrivals or signed Ola / Uber pickup for the Dabok run into the City Palace / lakes loop (often ~35–60 minutes in normal traffic; wedding / monsoon days stretch longer — confirm the board / app quote). Udaipur City and Rana Pratap Nagar stations are separate road transfers. Do not invent an in-terminal metro or rail platform from city transit planning coverage. summary: Road hop into Udaipur; metro is not at the kerb. category: status lounges: [] waterOptions: - kind: purchase name: Landside sealed water (check-in / departures hall) zone: landside price: >- Typical Indian-airport sealed-bottle markup — confirm shelf tag (often roughly ₹40–80) summary: >- Best default hydration play — buy sealed water landside before CISF so you are not hostage to airside café pricing after a Dabok road transfer or a long wedding-season bank. location: >- Convenience and café kiosks in the passenger terminal departures / check-in hall before security terminal: Passenger Terminal landside isBestValue: true - kind: purchase name: Airside retail water zone: airside price: Higher than landside — confirm shelf tag summary: >- Markup backup once you are through security; fine for a top-up, poor as Plan A. location: Post-security café and retail units toward domestic gates / SHA terminal: Passenger Terminal airside airportistScore: 6 slug: udr region: Asia-Pacific --- > Markdown for [/airports/udr](/airports/udr).
