Jaisalmer Airport
Jaisalmer Airport (IATA: JSA, ICAO: VIJR) is located 17 kilometres
south-east of Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, India. The airport operates as a civil
enclave on an Indian Air Force base. The airport has a single concrete
surface runway of 9,000 feet (2,700 m) in length and 150 feet (46 m) in
width. Carriers that have previously flown to / from the airport include
Vayudoot and Kingfisher Airlines.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has
constructed a new terminal at the southern end of the airfield. Construction
of the terminal was completed in March 2013. The civil enclave is spread
over 65 acres and consists of the terminal and an apron for parking three
Airbus A321 aircraft.
The opening of the new airport was expected to boost tourist inflow into the
city as many tourists were unable to visit the city due to lack of air
services. As of 2015, it was never used for civil flights and was closed.
The Airport is managed and controlled by
AAI.
