Sheikh Ul Alam International Airport or Srinagar Airport (IATA: SXR, ICAO: VISR), also known as Budgam Airbase is an international airport serving Srinagar, the summer capital of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It is owned by the Indian Air Force with the Airports Authority of India operating a civil enclave at the airport and was designated as an international airport in 2005. The airport is located in Budgam, about 12 km (7.5 mi) south of Srinagar. It has an integrated domestic and international terminal with one asphalt runway. Srinagar airfield was established by the Indian Air Force. During the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947, the airport received an airlift of Indian army troops to prevent Pakistan army from capturing Srinagar. Although the airport was small and lacked landing aids, the airlift was still carried out successfully on 27 October 1947. In September 1965, the Srinagar Airport was subjected to an air raid amid the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, which left some aircraft damaged. In 1979, the Airports Authority of India established a civil enclave at the airport. The terminal was modified in February 1998 to be able to handle international Hajj flights which started operating from January 2002. During the Kargil War in 1999, the airport was taken over completely by the Air Force and civilian flights were stopped. In March 2005, the airport was granted international status by the Indian government. In 2006, the airport was renamed Sheikh-ul-Alam International Airport after the Sheikh-ul-Alam, a Kashmiri Sufi saint. In 2020, the airport was proposed to be renamed as Major Somnath Sharma International Airport after Major Somnath Sharma, the first recipient of India's highest military decoration, Param Vir Chakra. AIX Connect, formerly known as AirAsia India, is an Indian low-cost airline headquartered in Bangalore (Bengaluru), Karnataka and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air India Limited which in turn is owned by Tata Group. The airline was founded as a joint venture between Tata Sons and AirAsia Bhd and commenced operations in June 2014 with Bangalore as its primary operating base. From 2020 to 2022, AirAsia Bhd gradually disinvested its shares in the joint venture and sold them to Tata Sons. In December 2022, after the entire shares of AirAsia India was acquired by Tata Sons, the airline was renamed AIX Connect ahead of its merger with Air India Express. The AirAsia India brand was retired on 31 October 2023, and the airline now operates flights for Air India Express.
