Jodhpur Airport, Civil and military airport in Jodhpur, India.
Jodhpur Airport is a civil and military aerodrome in Rajasthan with concrete and asphalt runway facilities. The facility accommodates both commercial and military aircraft operations at the same location, serving routes to several major Indian cities.
The facility was established as a civil airfield and later developed military significance. During the 1999 Kargil War, it served as an operational base for Indian Air Force fighter jets conducting aerial operations in the region.
The airport serves as a gateway to the desert region of Rajasthan, linking travelers to the traditions and heritage sites of the blue-painted city. Visitors use this hub to enter a landscape filled with centuries-old forts and living local traditions.
The airport is accessible by public transport and taxis from Jodhpur city center. Travelers should arrive early to allow time for security checks before departure.
The airport operates as a shared facility where civilian and military aircraft function side by side on a daily basis. This dual-use arrangement is relatively uncommon and allows both services to operate from the same grounds.
