The Union Cabinet approved the proposal to rename Ayodhya Airport ‘Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, Ayodhyadham’ on Friday.

Furthermore, at the Cabinet meeting presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it was also resolved to declare the airport as an international airport.

On December 30, 2023, PM Modi inaugurated the airport.
