Mangla Airport
Mangla Airport is a small airfield located near Mangla in Pakistan's Azad Kashmir region, near the significant Mangla Dam reservoir on the Jhelum River. XJM has historically supported limited civil aviation activity connected to dam construction and maintenance operations, as well as occasional military and government use given the area's proximity to sensitive regional infrastructure. The airport's facilities remain modest, reflecting its role serving a specific local purpose rather than broader commercial passenger demand. Mangla's strategic importance stems largely from its massive hydroelectric dam, one of the largest in the world, and the airport has periodically supported personnel transport tied to that critical infrastructure project throughout its operational history.
