Sindhudurg Airport, also known as Chipi Airport, is a domestic airport located near the village of Chipi in Sindhudurg district, Maharashtra, India. It serves the Konkan coastal region, providing improved air connectivity to an area previously dependent on lengthy road or rail journeys to reach major airports.
