The Saifai airstrip (Hindi: सैफई हवाई पट्टी) is an airstrip at Saifai village in Etawah District of Uttar Pradesh. This airstrip was defunct, but is being repaired during the governorship of the Samajwadi Party. It is used by small aircraft.

The airport/airstrip has only unscheduled chartered flights.

In 2015, Mirage 2000 aircraft of Indian Air Force have been operating from the airstrip, testing grounds for possible development of this airport in case of emergency, like a war.
