Besides Diu, it also serves the neighbouring areas of Gujarat, including Veraval and Jafrabad. It is the only airport in the union territory with commercial operations.
History
Diu Airport was built in 1954, when Diu was part of Portuguese India.[2] Transportes Aéreos da Índia Portuguesa (TAIP) commenced operations to Diu on 16 August 1955. The airline linked Diu with Goa, Daman and Karachi[3] until December 1961, when the Indian air force bombed the airfield.[4]
