## Description

Set against the Shivalik foothills on the Tawi river plain, Jammu Airport (IATA: IXJ) in the Satwari area is a civil enclave on an Indian Air Force station and the air link for the winter capital of Jammu and Kashmir. IndiGo, Air India and SpiceJet connect it with Delhi, Srinagar and other domestic points, with traffic dominated by pilgrims heading to the Vaishno Devi shrine near Katra. There is no meaningful air cargo terminal, and the airfield's military status brings tighter security procedures. Forwarders handling regional goods – handicrafts, fruit, light industrial output – truck them down the NH44 to Delhi (DEL), the nearest full-service cargo hub at roughly 590 kilometres.
