Ayodhya Airport

Ayodhya Airport (AYJ) is a medium airport in Faizabad, UP, India. It carries the IATA code AYJ. It sits in Asia.

Ayodhya Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Ayodhya Airport sits near sea level at 335 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Kolkata. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
