Jodhpur Airport is a civil airport in "Blue
city"(Jodhpur). It shares its airside with the Jodhpur Air Base of the IAF.
The Jodhpur Flying Club was set up by His Highness Maharaja
Umaid Singh in the 1920s at a small airfield near his Chittar Palace in
Jodhpur. The airfield was later
upgraded in 1950 after the formation of the Royal Indian Air Force (that later
became the Indian Air Force). Jodhpur
was home to the IAF's Air Force Flying College until the 1965 war.
Jodhpur airport's 12 acre civil enclave contains a
terminal building measuring a built-up area of 5690 m2, that is
capable of handling 430 passengers per hour. The terminal has 7 check-in
counters and 3 boarding gates. The adjoining concrete apron measures 140 by 100
meters and has 3 parking bays that can cater to two A320 and an ATR aircraft
simultaneously.
Three airlines are served to the Jodhpur Airport i.e. Air India, Spice Jet, Jet Airways
