Bhuj Airport (BHJ) is a domestic airport serving Bhuj and the Kutch region of Gujarat, India.

It is the main gateway for travelers heading to the Rann of Kutch and nearby handicraft villages.
💡 Local Tip
Because the airport is co-located with an Indian Air Force station, photography is restricted; keep cameras and phones packed until you are outside the airport perimeter.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is a short drive from central Bhuj, so a taxi or auto-rickshaw is the quickest option. App-based cabs are not reliably available, so pre-arrange a pickup or ask your hotel to send a car. During the Rann Utsav season (November–February), allow extra time and book transfers in advance.
