Sri Ganganagar Airport is located at Lalgarh jattan, 20 kilometres South-East of Sri Ganganagar, in the state of Rajasthan, India.{{cite web|title=National Register of Airports - Lalgarh |url=https://www.aai.aero/sites/default/files/national-register/Lalgarh%20Report.pdf |access-date=15 July 2018|website=Airports Authority of India}} It is owned and operated by the State Government of Rajasthan. The airport is spread over 65 acres, has a 1300 metre long runway and a 4410 square metre apron for two small aircraft. A 125 square metre rest house serves as a terminal building.

The district administration plans to expand the airport at a cost of 28.5 crore to enable the operation of larger aircraft.{{cite news|title= Ganganagar expands airstrip to connect with Jaipur, Delhi |url= https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/ganganagar-expands-airstrip-to-connect-with-jaipur-delhi/articleshow/59358949.cms |access-date=15 July 2018|newspaper=The Times of India|date=29 June 2017}}

The State Civil Aviation Department signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Indian Army in November 2017, allowing the Army to use the airstrip for 10 years.
