Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ)
Veer Savarkar International Airport is the main gateway to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, based in Port Blair. Compare airlines flying to and from Port Blair (IXZ) on Traveloka and set a Price Alert to track fares before you book.
Overview of Veer Savarkar International Airport
IXZ began as a World War II-era military airfield before becoming the islands' main civil airport, and was renamed in 2002. A major new terminal opened in July 2023, lifting annual capacity to around 5 million passengers; the airport handled just over 1.25 million passengers in the 2023–24 financial year. Despite the "International" name, current scheduled service is entirely domestic — there's no year-round scheduled international route today, so travellers from overseas should plan to connect via a major Indian gateway city such as Chennai or Delhi.
Where Veer Savarkar Connects To
