Shillong Airport, also known as Umroi Airport among locals, is a small civilian airport located at the place of Umroi around a distance of 30 km from Shillong city in the state of Meghalaya, India. The Umroi airport was constructed in the mid 1960s and became operational almost a decade later. To increase operations, land measuring an area of 224.16 acres was acquired for expansion of the airport in the year of 2009. The work commenced in the month of June that year and was completed in around the time of May 2010. The new airport terminal was inaugurated in June 2011 respectively.

Then in the year of 2015 the Airport Authority of India was allotted land for the further expansion of the Umroi airport. In the year 2017, AAI upgraded infrastructure at Shillong, with the installation of an Instrument landing system (ILS system), construction of two refuelling facilities, extension of runway and removal of flight-path obstructions. The airport received its Category 3C license from the Indian DGCA in June 2019, allowing operations of Q400 and the ATR 72 aircrafts.

The situation became better when IndiGo airlines began operations using ATR-72 turboprop aircrafts from Shillong on 20 July 2019 under the UDAN scheme with a daily flight from Kolkata airport which meant tourists can now come directly to Shillong rather than to Guwahati and then take a car ride to Shillong. This saved costs for the tourists and the time to reach Shillong became noticeably shorter.

But since the Umroi airport was not fully functional in the last few years, there are very few options left for the tourists coming directly to Umroi to get a car or a ride to Shillong city from Umroi airport except if they could arrange a car for pickup in advance as the airport was scantilly crowded due to less or no flights in all these preceding years before.
