Porbandar Airport (IATA: PBD, ICAO: VAPR) is a domestic airport and an Indian Navy base serving the city of Porbandar in the state of Gujarat, India. It is a crucial gateway for tourism and economic activities in the city and its adjoining areas, with the city renowned as the birthplace of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. The airport had direct flights to Ahmedabad, Delhi and Mumbai since the 1980s, all of which were discontinued in 2020. After a brief period of inactivity, the airport restarted operations in March 2025 with daily direct flights to Mumbai operated by SpiceJet, which was operated before until 2019 and 2021. Apart from civilian operations, it has a military presence in the form of INAS 343 of the Indian Navy and CGAE Porbandar of the Indian Coast Guard. A new terminal building was opened in April 2008.
