It primarily handles regional UDAN flights and has a compact terminal with basic passenger facilities.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know the terminal is compact and check-in is quick, but because flights are infrequent, confirm your return flight status before leaving Jeypore and arrive at least 90 minutes early.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is close to Jeypore town, so auto-rickshaws and local taxis are the quickest way in or out. There is no dedicated airport shuttle, and app-based cabs may be scarce, so arrange a pickup through your hotel or a local operator. If you're continuing to Koraput, Jagdalpur, or the Eastern Ghats, allow extra road time, especially during monsoon.
