Jodhpur Airport (IATA: JDH, ICAO: VIJO) is a domestic airport and an Indian Air Force base serving the city of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. It is operated by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and shares its airside with the Jodhpur Air Force Station of the Indian Air Force.
The Government of Rajasthan signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Air Force for the expansion of the passenger terminal in March 2017, wherein 37 acres of IAF land was transferred to AAI. In May 2021, it was transferred by IAF to AAI through Jodhpur Development Authority (JoDA), and the terminal was built. It is the 48th-busiest airport in India, handling more than half a million passengers in FY 2018–2019. Beside the existing terminal, a new, larger terminal is being constructed to meet the rapidly rising traffic and demands. Its foundation stone was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in October 2023, and construction began in the same month. It is slated to be completed by the end of 2025.
