Pathankot Airport
IXP denotes Pathankot Airport, a civil enclave sharing its runway with an Indian Air Force station in the Punjab city of Pathankot, near the borders of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. Given its military co-location, IXP has historically had limited and intermittent commercial passenger service, functioning primarily as a strategic defense airfield. The surrounding city serves as a transit point for travelers heading toward Himachal hill stations such as Dalhousie and Chamba, or toward the Kashmir valley by road. Civil aviation activity at IXP has periodically expanded under Indian regional connectivity schemes, though scheduled flights remain far less frequent than at nearby major hubs like Amritsar.
