Pathankot Airport (IATA: IXP, ICAO: VIPK) is a regional airport, 3 km from the nearest city Pathankot and 7 km from Pathankot Railway Station, located on the Pathankot – Majra Road. Pathankot airport serves national flights only. The airport, spread over an area of approximately 75 acres, is not well connected by public transport; only cabs are available.
Pathankot Airport was inaugurated by Mr. Praful Patel, the then Aviation Minister of India, on 21 November 2006.[1] The facility was made possible by the efforts of Gurdaspur Member of Parliament and Bollywood actor Vinod Khanna,[2] who had planned to make Pathankot a tourist destination and industrial hub.[3]
Commercial flights were resumed on April 5, 2018,[4] after a hiatus of nearly seven years.[5][6] by Alliance Air, the regional subsidiary of Air India under the Regional Connectivity Scheme.[7]
