What happened
Maharaja Umaid Singh of Jodhpur began developing landing grounds in 1924, viewing aviation as a way to transform the princely state of Jodhpur. He established the Jodhpur Flying Club in 1931, which operated with a small fleet of aircraft. The airfield eventually grew into an international gateway.
