## Description

Gir National Park, the only place on earth with wild Asiatic lions, sits just inland from Keshod Airport (IATA: IXK) on the Saurashtra peninsula of Gujarat. This historic airfield was revived under the UDAN regional-connectivity scheme, but scheduled service to Mumbai has come and gone, and traffic stays thin. The field has no cargo handling. The Junagadh region – groundnuts, cotton and limestone drive its economy – relies on Rajkot (RAJ) or the larger Ahmedabad (AMD) for air freight, while the Saurashtra ports take the heavy tonnage.
