Pasighat Airport is a domestic airport serving Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh, India. It is located beside the banks of the Brahmaputra River, about 3 km away from the town centre.

History

The airstrip was laid down during the Sino-Indian War of 1962 and saw little use after the war until the Indian Air Force signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Arunachal Pradesh to develop the airstrip in 2009. The IAF took over the airstrip in February 2010. An Air Traffic Control Tower, an apron for parking aircraft, a perimeter road and a security wall were constructed. The upgraded airstrip was inaugurated by Kiren Rijiju in August 2016 and a Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter of the Indian Air Force landed on the airstrip as part of the inaugural function.
