<p class="blog-para">The airport was commissioned during the First World War in 1917-18 for the RFC/RAF. The old buildings were renovated during the Second World War, when it was used as a staging airfield by the Royal Air Force (RAF). It was transferred to the Indian Government when the British left. Due to brisk traffic, new terminal buildings featuring facilities of refreshment, retiring rooms, restrooms, book stalls and visitor's galleries were constructed in 1953. Sonegaon Airport was the hub of the unique "Night Air Mail Service" wherein four planes left from Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta and Madras every night with a mail load from their region and returned to their home base in the early morning, after exchanging the mail at Nagpur. The service was operated from January 1949 until October 1973. Over the years its major traffic was civilian aircraft till the formation of 44 Wing and the transfer of the Il-76 military transport aircraft of the IAF in 2003. In the 2010s, the airport was in danger of losing its operating license due to danger at the airport. A former Atlanta Skylarks Boeing 720 owned by Continental Aviation Limited, which had been abandoned at the airport since 1991, was sitting 90 meters from the runway, when the rules state that any object should be situated at least 150 meters from the runway. In 2015&ndash;2016, the aircraft, which by then had been standing there for nearly 30 years, was moved to the northeast end of the airport, 600 meters away from the runway.</p>
