Sonari Airport

Sonari Airport (VEJS) is a medium airport in Jamshedpur, India. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code VEJS or IATA code IXW. It sits in Asia.

Sonari Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

Sonari Airport sits near sea level at 475 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Kolkata. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.
