About Kangra Airport

Kangra Airport, operating under IATA code DHM and ICAO code VIDK, is a domestic aerodrome managed by the Airports Authority of India and situated in the scenic Kangra Valley amid the Dhauladhar mountain range. The airport’s relatively short runway of approximately 1,372 metres constrains operations to turboprop aircraft and smaller light jets, making aircraft selection critical for private charter passengers. Despite its compact footprint, the facility handles both scheduled domestic services and private aviation movements, with immigration and customs formalities processed through dedicated channels for arriving private passengers. The airport’s challenging mountain terrain demands experienced pilots familiar with high-altitude, short-field approaches, adding an additional layer of expertise required for operations here. Its elevation and Himalayan setting make DHM one of the most scenically dramatic arrival points in India.
