Distance & flight time from IRD
Ishurdi Airport
IRD is the code for Ishurdi Airport in Ishurdi, a railway and industrial town in Pabna District, Bangladesh. Once more active, the airport today sees minimal scheduled commercial service, functioning largely as a standby or occasional-use airfield within Bangladesh's aviation network. Ishurdi's importance historically stemmed from its position as a major railway junction and its role during the Bangladesh Liberation War, and the airport reflects that legacy of regional connectivity even as most passenger traffic has shifted to larger airports like Ishwardi's neighboring hubs or Dhaka. IRD's runway can still support smaller aircraft, making it useful for charter flights, government use, or emergency operations in the north-central river delta region of the country.
