Location
Nashik, India
Gandhinagar Airfield, designated by ICAO code VANR, is located in Nashik, Maharashtra, India. It serves primarily as a military installation but has also supported limited civil aviation activities in the region.
The airfield is situated near the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) complex in Nashik, which is a significant aerospace manufacturing hub responsible for producing fighter aircraft such as the MiG-21 and Sukhoi Su-30MKI. The facility is closely tied to India's defense aviation infrastructure.
