Flying to Pathankot

Pathankot Airport is located just 3 km from Pathankot and is set within a single passenger terminal. The airport currently handles just a single flight service from Delhi with Alliance Air. Although this means UAE-based travelers won’t be able to fly directly to Pathankot, you will conveniently be able to transfer at Delhi before continuing onward to Pathankot. The airport was previously disused but recently restarted commercial flights in 2018. The airport was officially inaugurated in 2006 and may begin opening up new flight routes in the future. The terminal itself is small and offers very little by way of facilities and services, so you are advised to bring all of the essentials you need with you.

Arriving in Pathankot

When your flight has touched down in Pathankot, the most popular way to reach your destination is to hop in a taxi just outside the terminal building. Public transport is lacking at the airport so you won’t be able to catch any buses. However, you can access the local railway network by taxi if you plan on traveling across the region.
