The field lies to the southeast of Raipur city, a longstanding administrative and industrial centre in central India, and offers straightforward VFR access given its flat plain setting.
Swami Vivekananda Airport, identified by the ICAO code VERP, is the civil aerodrome serving Raipur, the capital of the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. It sits at an elevation of 1,024 feet and features a single physical runway aligned 06/24 with a hard, lit surface and an ILS on the 24 approach, making it a capable and interesting destination for simulator pilots flying in central India.
The airport lies to the southeast of Raipur city, which sits near the centre of a large agricultural plain in Chhattisgarh, bordered to the east by the Mahanadi River. Raipur is a major regional hub, with the Maikal Hills rising to the north-west and dense forest to the south of the urban area, giving pilots useful large-scale terrain references when approaching from the surrounding plain.
The aerodrome has one physical runway, 06/24, of hard construction and lit for night operations. The 24 end is quoted at 7,485 feet in length and equipped with an ILS, while the 06 end is quoted at 7,064 feet.
