Operating hoursPublished civil watch hours approx 0800-1700 local; night flying has operated since Mar 2021 outside periods of IAF runway maintenance. As of mid-2026 the IAF has been running night/daytime runway maintenance (through around Oct 2026) that periodically curtails hours to roughly 0800-1700. A weekly Mon/Tue full runway closure for Jul-Sep 2026 was announced in early Jun 2026 then withdrawn on 4 Jul 2026, so scheduled flights continue daily. Joint-user military aerodrome — PPR required for non-scheduled and foreign-registered aircraft via the IAF/AAI.
TerminalsSingle passenger terminal (opened Feb 2009, ~19,700 sqm, 9 aircraft stands incl. 5 with jet bridges, rated for ~950 simultaneous passengers). A Rs 1,667 crore expansion announced 2026 is planned to lift capacity from 2.5 MPPA to about 10 MPPA, grow the terminal to roughly 71,000 sqm, and add stands for up to 15 aircraft simultaneously. The terminal includes an international wing with customs and immigration counters, but as of 2026 no scheduled international airline serves SXR — the facility is used only for seasonal Hajj charter flights to Jeddah; the last scheduled international service (Sharjah, via Go First) ended with that carrier's 2023 bankruptcy.
Runways (1)
- 13/31 · 3,685 m / 12,090 ft · 46 m wide · Asphalt · ILS ILS CAT II (upgraded from CAT I; commissioned by the IAF under its MAFI airfield-modernization programme in Aug 2024, in service from the 2024-25 winter season onward, lowering the visibility minimum from roughly 1200-1300m to about 400-600m)
Kashmir's principal air gateway and a joint civil-military aerodrome (IAF-owned, AAI-operated civil enclave). Handled 3.37M passengers in FY2025-26, down about 25% y/y after the Apr 2025 Pahalgam terror attack hit Kashmir tourism hard; FY2024-25 had been a record 4.47M, which AAI reported as more than double the airport's traffic from a decade earlier. IndiGo (highest frequency), Air India, SpiceJet, Air India Express and Akasa Air all run mainline domestic services to Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh and Jammu; Delhi-Srinagar is one of India's busiest domestic corridors. Despite full customs/immigration facilities, no airline currently operates scheduled international service — only seasonal Hajj charters. The single runway 13/31 was upgraded to CAT II ILS in Aug 2024 specifically to cut Kashmir Valley winter fog cancellations.

Aircraft fuel
Unconfirmed
Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) Aviation Service
No airport-specific citation was found naming the into-plane/ATF supplier at SXR with full operational detail. AC-U-KWIK's aviation-services directory does list an "INDIAN OIL (IOC)" entry specifically for VISR/Srinagar (acukwik.com/Basic-Info/VISR/INDIAN-OIL-IOC), which is independent corroboration that IOCL (not the BPCL or IOSL/IndianOil-Skytanking joint-venture networks, both of which appear to exclude Srinagar from their published lists) is the most probable supplier, but the listing itself is gated and provided no phone/email/into-plane-service confirmation. Flagged unconfirmed rather than omitted or marked available, since a scheduled-carrier airport of this size (Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet) cannot plausibly have zero ATF supply.

De-icing
Seasonal
Airports Authority of India (AAI) - Srinagar International Airport
Self-provided at the airport level: AAI, in coordination with the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), clears the runway, apron and taxiways of snow during Kashmir Valley winters; Srinagar has no dedicated aircraft de-icing machines, using a water-spray method on aircraft wings instead. Confirmed via recurrent winter-closure reporting through January 2026 (The Week, Deccan Herald, New Kerala, Kashmir Observer) describing AAI-BRO snow-clearance coordination, plus separate commentary confirming the water-spray (non-glycol) method. Contact info verified exact match against AAI's official Srinagar airport contact page (Airport Director Javed Anjam). Seasonal winter-snowfall use only; do not treat as year-round or as equivalent to standard glycol-based de-icing fluid.
