## Description

Chushul Airstrip appears in airport registers, yet it functions as an advanced landing ground of the Indian Air Force in eastern Ladakh, a few kilometres from the Line of Actual Control. No civil scheduled or cargo traffic is handled here; Indian media report a revival of the long-dormant strip for helicopters, drones and tactical transport aircraft, but the current operational status is not confirmed. Air freight for Ladakh moves through Leh (IXL) and Delhi (DEL).
