## Description

The world's largest refinery complex sits on its doorstep, yet Jamnagar Airport (IATA: JGA, ICAO: VAJM) handled just 139.2 tonnes of cargo in the April 2025 to March 2026 financial year, down almost 39 percent year on year. The field is the civil enclave of an Indian Air Force station dating from the 1940s; military and civil traffic share a 2,700-metre runway, and scheduled service is limited to a few domestic flights, mainly to Mumbai. There is no dedicated freight terminal, what little cargo moves travels as belly load in passenger aircraft, and the military status adds security procedures. Jamnagar's economy tells a different story: the Reliance complex on the Gulf of Kutch is the largest refining site in the world, and the city is India's centre for brass components. JGA held temporary international status in early 2024 for high-profile events, but the permanent international role in Saurashtra belongs to Rajkot Hirasar (HSR), opened in 2023 about 100 kilometres east. Bulk and heavy goods leave by sea through Sikka and Bedi on the Gulf of Kutch, with Mundra and Kandla within trucking distance, while forwarders book air freight via Rajkot (HSR) or Ahmedabad (AMD, roughly 300 kilometres).
