## Description

Officially 'Zero Airport' (IATA: ZER), this airstrip in the Apatani valley of Arunachal Pradesh lives up to a modest scale rather than its curious name. Commercial flights returned in October 2022 under India's RCS-UDAN scheme, with Alliance Air linking Ziro to Guwahati on 19-seat Dornier 228 turboprops. A single runway of roughly 1,220 metres and a 25-passenger terminal mean the field handles no scheduled cargo and operates no freight terminal. Air shipments for the region route through Guwahati (GAU), the cargo gateway for India's Northeast, followed by about 275 km of road haulage. Beyond aviation, Ziro is best known for its annual music festival and the UNESCO-listed Apatani cultural landscape.
