Daporijo Airport

Daporijo Airport (IATA: DEP, ICAO: VEDZ) is located at Daporijo in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, India. Daporijo used to have scheduled services in the 1980s and early 1990s from Vayudoot. The airport had flights to Guwahati and Dibrugarh on Dornier Do 228 aircraft.

The runway is too small which is only 924 metres long (commercial aircraft like Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 required 2,090 m (6,860 ft) takeoff distance). The Airports Authority of India (AAI) plans to develop the airport for operation of ATR-42/ATR-72 type of aircraft. This means low cost carriers like IndiGo and SpiceJet which are using single plane type are unable to serve the airport unless runway is upgraded.

Currently, there is no scheduled commercial air service to the airport, although the airport is used by the Indian Army.

The maximum terminal capacity for arrival and departure is 20 passengers.
