Kailashahar Airport (VEKR/IXH)

Kailashahar Airport (VEKR) is a medium airport in Kailashahar, India. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code VEKR or IATA code IXH. It sits in Asia.

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

Kailashahar Airport sits near sea level at 79 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Dhaka. 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.
