Jammu Airport — Jammu, India

IXJ is Jammu Airport, a key civil enclave airport that also functions as an Indian Air Force base in the city of Jammu, the winter capital of Jammu and Kashmir. It serves as one of the busiest airports in the region, acting as the primary air gateway for pilgrims visiting the Vaishno Devi shrine as well as travelers heading further into the Kashmir valley. IXJ handles a substantial volume of domestic traffic connecting Jammu to Delhi, Mumbai, Srinagar, and other major cities, and security screening tends to be more stringent given its dual military-civilian status. The airport has seen periodic expansion to manage growing pilgrim and tourist traffic, especially during peak yatra seasons.
