History
The Jammu Air Force Station was established as the base of the No.1 Wing of the Indian Air Force on 10 March 1948. Though the detachment was soon moved to Srinagar, it was based out of Jammu during the winters till 1950. Thereafter, a small detachment of the wing was maintained at the base. In 1963, the No.23 Wing was raised at the base. The air force training school, based at the airport, was opened in 1971. The airport is owned by the Indian Air Force, and the Airports Authority of India established a civilian enclave at the airport in 1985. The airport underwent modernisation and expansion works in the late 2010s. The airport was targeted by Pakistani drone attacks during the 2025 India–Pakistan conflict, and the civilian operations were suspended for a few days in May 2025.
