The Jaisalmer airport is run by the military.. Many web sites say that the airport is fuctional for tourists from Oct - Mar but that is not true.. Jodhpur is recommendable if you want to seek the air route..

I called in today at Crown Tours and Travels who do flight bookings and they tell me so far there are for the coming season no flights coming in or out of Jaisalmer. They said this may change, but for the present there is no news of flights again for 2010 -11.
Every cloud has a silver lining!

I was just wondering that tourists who visit Jaisalmer visit Jodhpur as well. And Jodhpur has good air connectivity. So what would be the volume of traffic if daily flights are operated out of Jaisalmer. What do you say Aishah Sahiba?

I think the fact that flights previously are put on, then cancelled speaks for itself. There are not enough people booking the flights, and they don't get enough traffic to make them warranted. This is what happened to the Air India direct flights Delhi-Jaisalmer and vice versa which I booked in 2008. Not enough bookings and then cancelled. It's a shame because I think if there was just a once or twice a week flight it might be viable. Daily flights are not viable - whereas they are in and out of Jodhpur.
