Jaisalmer Airport (IATA: JSA, ICAO: VIJR) is located southeast of Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, India; it is 12.6 kilometres (7.8 mi) by road from the city centre.[1] The airport operates as a civil enclave on an Indian Air Force base.

The airport has a single 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.[2] In 2015, it was not used for civil flights, and was closed[3] until services resumed in 2017.

New civil terminal[]

The Airports Authority of India has constructed a new terminal at the southern end of the airfield. Construction of the Rs. 80 crore terminal was completed in March 2013.[4] The civil enclave is spread over 65 acres[4] and consists of the terminal and an apron for parking three Airbus A321 aircraft.[5]
