Keshod Airport

IXK identifies Keshod Airport, a small airfield in the Junagadh district of Gujarat, India's Saurashtra peninsula. The airport primarily serves travelers visiting the Somnath and Girnar pilgrimage sites as well as the Gir Forest region, home to India's only wild Asiatic lion population. Historically operated with limited and intermittent commercial service, Keshod has seen periodic revivals of scheduled flights, often under regional connectivity initiatives aimed at boosting tourism to Gujarat's lesser-served interior. IXK's runway and terminal remain modest in scale compared to Gujarat's larger airports at Ahmedabad and Rajkot, reflecting its role as a niche gateway rather than a major traffic hub.
