Pasighat Airport (IATA: IXT, ICAO: VEPG) is located at Pasighat in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, India.
History[edit | edit source]
The airstrip was laid down during the Sino-Indian War of 1962 and saw little use after the war until the Indian Air Force signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Arunachal Pradesh to develop the airstrip in 2009. The IAF took over the airstrip in February 2010. An Air Traffic Control Tower, apron for parking aircraft, a perimeter road and security wall was constructed. The upgraded airstrip was inaugurated by Kiren Rijiju in August 2016 and a Sukhoi Su-30 fighter of the Indian Air Force landed on the airstrip as part of the inaugural function.[1]
Current status[edit | edit source]
- The Airports Authority of India (AAI) operates a civil enclave at Pasighat. A new passenger terminal was built in 2017.[2] A helicopter service on behalf of the Arunachal Pradesh government is operated by Pawan Hans between Pasighat and various regional stations.[3]
- In April 2018, an Air India Regional ATR-42 aircraft carried out a test landing at the Pasighat ALG, in preparation for scheduled commercial services.[4] The commercial flights commenced on May 21, 2018 when Alliance Air (India)'s 42-seater ATR aircraft from Guwahati landed at the airport with Chief Minister Pema Khandu and Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein.[5] The connectivity comes under the Government's Regional Connectivity Scheme called UDAN.[6]
