'''Jashore Airport''' {{airport codes|JSR|VGJR}} is a domestic airport in [[Jessore (city)|Jashore]], [[Bangladesh]]. Operated and maintained by the [[Civil Aviation Authority, Bangladesh]]. It is also used by the [[Bangladesh Air Force]] as part of ''BAF Matiur Rahman Base'' and training airfield for the [[Bangladesh Air Force Academy]].At present it has daily seven direct flight with [[Dhaka]] and a weekly flight with [[Cox's Bazar]].It is the only operational airport of [[Khulna Division]].It is the fifth busiest airport of Bangladesh.

== History ==
Jessore Airport established the [[Royal Air Force]] in 1940 to protect [[British India]] from Japanese aggression during [[World War II]]. When [[British India]] gained independence after [[World War II]], the [[Government of Pakistan]] opened the airport as a base for the [[Pakistan Air Force]]. Later in 1951 [[Pakistan International Airlines]] started operating flights from Jessore to [[Shahjalal International Airport|Dhaka]], [[Jinnah International Airport|Karachi]], [[Allama Iqbal International Airport|Lahore]] and [[Shah Amanat International Airport|Chattogram]]. At that time he operated only two flights a week from [[Shahjalal International Airport|Dhaka]] to Jessore. And from 1951 to March 1971, the airport was used jointly by [[Pakistan International Airlines]] and [[Pakistan Air Force]]. When the [[Bangladesh Liberation War|war of independence]] started in [[Bangladesh]] in March 1971, [[Pakistan Air Force]] started using it for conducting war activities. On 6 December 1971, a Joint force of the [[Indian Army]] and the [[Mukti Bahini|Liberation Army]] invaded [[East Pakistan]], causing extensive damage to the airport. And when the city of [[Jessore]] fell, the entire [[Jessore District]], including the airport, came under the joint forces of the [[Indian Army]] and the [[Mukti Bahini|Liberation Army]]. And the [[Indian Air Force]] compensates the airport and makes it usable. Later, when Bangladesh became independent in 1972, the [[Indian Air Force]] handed over to the [[Bangladesh Air Force]] and [[Biman Bangladesh Airlines]] resumed flights from [[Shahjalal International Airport|Dhaka]] to Jessore.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}
