Dehradun's Jolly Grant Airport is the main air gateway to Uttarakhand's hill country, linking travellers to Mussoorie, Rishikesh, Haridwar and the wider Himalayan foothills. Compare airlines flying in and out of Dehradun (DED) and set a Price Alert on Traveloka to track fares before you book.
Officially named Jolly Grant Airport after the suburb where it sits, the airport is located around 25 km from central Dehradun in Uttarakhand. Built in 1974 and named in honour of Flying Officer Jolly Grant, it handled close to 1.9 million passengers in FY2025-26, up more than 8% on the year before, as it grows into its role as the closest airport to Uttarakhand's most popular hill stations and pilgrimage towns.
Dehradun's network is largely domestic, linking to major Indian metros, with a limited international service to the Gulf added in recent years. Fares and schedules change often, so compare carriers and verify details before booking.
IndiGo is the dominant carrier, alongside Air India, SpiceJet, Akasa Air and regional operator Alliance Air.
Dehradun has a single integrated terminal handling all domestic and international departures, keeping the airport easy to navigate even during busy periods.
There's no direct rail link at the airport itself - the nearest railway station is in Dehradun city, about 25 km away. Pre-paid taxi counters and app-based cabs are the most reliable way in and out; state buses also run along the main highway.
As a regional gateway airport, Dehradun keeps things simple: a handful of cafes and shops, basic waiting areas and assistance counters for passengers who need help.
