Zero Airport[1] or Ziro Airport (IATA: ZER, ICAO: VEZO) is located at Ziro in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, India. In the past, Vayudoot and Air India operated daily flights to the airport.

History[edit]

A pre-feasibility study was conducted by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (India) for improving the airport to enable ATR-42 class aircraft in 2008. The study found it unfeasible to extend the 1220 metre runway to accommodate a 50-seat aircraft, due to unauthorized constructions along the boundary wall. It was proposed that a new runway measuring 2010 metres be built on land adjacent to the current runway and all airport structures like air traffic control tower, fire station and terminal building be relocated.[2]
