As you already new the airport is small and clicking photo inside the runway is not allowed. But the view at the time of landing and take off is great. You get cab facility in the airport. While going for boarding a flight please go 1 -2 hour early as it might take extra time for baggage and security check in.

Airport is small.. needs space to accommodate more than 1 flight at a time... It is very cumbersome to go to another place for covid test and recieve luggage there.. more than 1 h goes in all this. So much man power, buses are made to involve in the whole exercise... Needs major administrative action to make it more welcoming

Experienced a rare sight of this airport, as we were in a hurry and also to every single safety measures taken because we went just before the second wave pandemic. Hence everything was limited to the tourists. Airport is small as compared to other cities ofcourse, but it was clean and tidy. Would love to visit the new airport which is under construction right now.

Very Good facility , Cooperative Staff

The only airport in Andaman Islands.It is a short journey from Mumbai.Efficient crew and fast service.You have a seamless experience here.The wait time is minimal.And you can check out and check in without any hassle.The only issue is maybe the runway which is tiny.So its a little scary for people who have a fear of flying.

Simple and good, we get sagarika handicrafts and artifacts inside the airport along with 1 eatry shop

If you planning to visit andman and nicobaar then you have to go through rapid corona test at airport and every other island and if you got positive result ..administration will put you at quarantine center for 10 days. If you are with family member and in family if anyone got positive he/she will be put forcefully in quarantine centre and his/her family members will be left alone with his own regardless of women or child...you are also not allowed to have full/details corona test for confirmation..

The airport is small and good visit with family. Rest rooms are not great so plan accordingly. Bengaluru metro stations are more good than this airport.

Was good neat and clean airport Andaman islands is very beautiful place to Travel 🧳✈️

Very small Airport, fight operated only till afternoon, after that no flight.Major flights are connected via Kolkata or Chennai.. very less direct flights..Prons:1. You may come here easily with auto in Rs 50-100, no airport entry charges2. You will easily get autos on arrival also or can take Govt taxi on reasonable price..3. Airport is located within the city, major hotels are within the 5kms range4. Hotel Lemon Tree is just outside of the Airport Gate, you may walk5. Foods and other items are available at Airport on reasonable price.Cons:1. After security check, there is very less space for waiting2. Very few flight are operated3. Not promoting digitilization very much at AirportOverall, it is always good experience to visit Andman, you will feel wonderful nature, fresh air, mind blowing views, transparent sea water, water activities etc.. must visit place..

Very poor service our flight was cancelled and we were told to manage on our own for the day

Heaven on the earth,, must visit here to breath in pollution free environment, crime and corruption free part of India.. People are very helpful, soft spoken, honest and polite.... Towards a green initiative 🌳🌲 the Transport Department introduced its first Electric Bus for these Islands, a good move towards environment conservation. Well done and very much Appreciable 👋👋 job by UT Administration.

Small but nice airport and runway, with clearly visible elevation at the take-off point

The only airport in Andaman Islands . Its a small aiport which is maintained pretty good .

Need more Improvement in Decorate And surrounding views

Clean and Beautiful Airport of Port Blair...

Good airport... Area very small.. As a result, boarding & check-in are done very quickly. Civil flying doesnt operate after evening. So, plan accordingly.

Airport infrastructure is limited as of now but come Dec 2021, new airport complex is scheduled to be commencing its operation. Presently passenger amenities are bare minimum but its ok. The best part of this airport is that here rush and crowd clear very fast, you will not be able to find congestion similar to metro cities. Airport staff are cordial and always ready to help. Hope you have safe flying and happy trips.

The Veer Savarkar International Airport is located 2 km south of Port Blair, serves as primary airport for the islands of Andaman and Nicobar. It is a civil airport and its facilities are shared with the Indian Navy. The terminal is managed by the Airports Authority of India while the traffic is handled by the Indian Navy. It is organised and houses many indigenous souvenir stores

Nice service good look airport

Very small airport with limited space and only domestic flights are operating here.Well maintained airport and friendly staff.Not many cafeterias or eateries are available, just 1 or 2 Cafe shops are present inside airport.This airport has flight information display system, most of the time the gate information is not updated on the display but rather announced over speaker.

Photography is prohibited here and its old pattern airport with need for better infrastructure to attract tourists.During Covid19 Era, negative reports is checked on arrival.

A unique experience to reach here. nice view at airport. very clean atmosphere..!!

My experience of these airport is awesome. The topography of portblair makes these airport different from any other airport I had ever seen. The airport is surrounded by a small Hill and u can feel the fresh air directly coming from a sea. the Airport is not big at all but I like the way of managing the airport. There is only one gate for boarding but the airport is neat and clean although the airport is international but you dont find any international flights from here.The staffs and cabin crew are very friendly and cooperative rather than any airport and also there is few quite lounge and restaurants for passenger to eat or to chill your mind so I hope that u dont have any problem with these airport!👍

There is delay in flight today of air india. No information is provided about nature of delay. Expected time of departure or any other information.

Very Small. But good one

Nice airport well manage .. there is no photography allowed because of security reasons..

Veer savarkar airport in Port Blair is small but efficient airport. All the required facilities are available.

Itss well maintained airport. The airport is under expansion in terminal (Feb 20) and the aircraft parking bay due to increase in demand. Its the only airport in the whole Andaman and Nicobar Island.

Area of this airport is very less than that of others International airport in India. It is being extended and under construction. I Hope it would look like international airport when construction finish.

Though a small airport, but who cares when before landing or during take off you can have a wonderful view of the ocean, small hills , islands , etc. Those views are rare to see.Anyway as per infrastructure of the airport its not up to the mark, may be due to the space constrain. But, who is going to stay in airport?, when the service is good and the customer is happy that makes it all.

Nice airport with a nice view ,there are many hotels near by,the best homestay (bed and breakfast ) with good clean rooms and got for Budget Traveller is THE LAGOONSHADE ,SO ITS REALLY RECOMMENDED.

Worst officials working they tend to take things from ur bag in the name of security check if they notice something valuable or eatables and enjoy later

Very nice place.

This Airport is very small but its on an island which is great. There is all the facilities of Money exchange and toilets. Great Hygiene is also maintained there. There is also an different division for Indian Air force. Video Shooting is Strictly Prohibited there, So be very Careful. By The Way Its a great Airport in that place

Spending holidays in Andaman is a great idea. But you must have a long weekend or planned a seven day tour for Andaman and nearby. There are various location which you must cover like- Ross island, Havlok, Neil Island, Jolly Bouy, and many more which will be suggested by your travel planner or tour agent at your hotel.The location and weather is extremely good. The view of Andaman from top is unbelievable.

The airport is not taht great. Its a small airport.

Very small airport for the crowd it handles. Needs a massive renovation with increased space for amenities. The immigration corner is very small.

Veer Savarkar International Airport also known as Port Blair Airport, is a customs airport located 2 km south of Port Blair and is the main airport of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India. It is named after Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. I come along my best buddy to celebrate 2019-New-year.

Originally known as Port Blair Airport, it was renamed in 2002 . We can this airport from joggers park . It is very clean and cam . The airport authorities treat was awesome and mind blowing.

Small Airport ,Good Staffs and Waiting for long boarding Queue

One of the remaining airports being run by airport authority, still a government airport. Despite examples of many privatised airports, they just dont seem to learn what an airport can be. However, the airport has been cleaned up and does a good job of following the covid protocols. It is clean if basic.

Nice place with a great view outside 😊

If you want to enjoy the old world charm and simplicity, this is the place. This airport gives u the best feeling despite being an international Airport. A touch up on the looks will work wonders for this airport.

Andaman nicobar is a very good place to visit on holiday or honeymoon trip and this is the only connectivity to mainland by air. Presently this airport is going to expand and under renovation.

These roughly 300 islands are known for their palm-lined, white-sand beaches, mangroves and tropical rainforests. Coral reefs supporting marine life such as sharks and rays make for popular diving and snorkeling sites. Indigenous Andaman Islanders inhabit the more remote islands, many of which are off limits to visitors. Must visit before you die.

Small airport, cooperative staff, soft spoken..

Very small airport. Their service is also average. Airport was clean and neatly maintained. Luggage handling was rough. Our baggage was damaged due to the mis handling. Luckily we got it covered in insurance.

Ok

It is named after Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. It operates as a civil enclave, sharing airside facilities with INS Utkrosh of the Indian Navy.If you are rushed for time, avoid the place. We had a few hours to spend after seeing the Cellular Jail and waiting for the Light and Sound show, so spent some time there. It is a quiet place with benches. It offers a view of the city and especially the Veer Savarkar international airport. You can get a birds eye view of aeroplanes taking off and landing. Free toilet facilities available.

Its nice and small airport. It only have two gates. I usually fly to and from Delhi. Development in progress. Hope soon it will be more luxurious.

It is one of the smallest airport in India , however it is well maintained and a great airport 🙂.

Nice and clean airport veer sawarkar

Small Airport but very nice

Very small airport but well maintenance . Staff is very friendly.Restroom clean but small.only one airport.Awesome place

This airport mentioned as international but there are no international flight land here. VSI airport situated in the middle of the city and now days new terminal building is under construction beside old terminal.

The Airport is not so big but have sufficient facilities.The Security are well equipped and during covid,They are sanitizing passenger luggage at entry level and checking RT PCR report for people who are arriving at Port Blair airport.

The only Airport at Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Need to develop the infrastructure as now New terminal building has already set to finish with new infrastructures and much more facilities.

Its a small airport and very neatly maintained. The new airport terminals are in construction and hopefully it may get completed soon

Great place to Explore 🤠

The upcoming Airport looks pretty decent. I can see a lot of truss work, construction works on its way and hats off to the architectural works. Excited to visit it soon once completed.

New airport work is in progress.

Worst one , with trash can buses for transit from Aircraft to Airport , and frequent cancellation of flights , but its the only hope of transport bro , cant help it

Beautiful and amazing ...neat and clean

Well maintained airport and the main disadvantage I noticed is no Centralised ACSO That I gave 3 star

Small airport compared to other Indian cities, much can be done to improve the condition of the airport and its surroundings, as Andaman is becoming a major tourist destination, for both domestic and international visitors.

Veer Savarkar International Airport so very beautiful place and International Airport so thanks for.. Andaman Nicobar Airport Autohratey

Small and Well Maintained Airport

Veer Savarkar International Airport is the only functional airport in Andaman & Nicober island region serving with world class flight schedule..Though it is a small airport with only one runway strip it is well maintained under governance of Indian navy.. Security is very tight.. Right now airport is having limited facilities but it is expected to increase in near future.. Presently there is no wifi internet facilities available at the terminal...Theres a small snack bar, prepaid taxi assistance. Restrooms are clean and well maintained, with R.O. drinking water. Theres a souvenier shop operated by Sagarika Emporium. You can hire a auto rikshaw from outside the airport if you havent arranged your transport...Dont carry corals or any marine species (dead or alive) during departure from Port Blair airport, they are prohibited as per wildlife protection act. If you carry they will catch it in x-ray scan and ask you to drop it in the dustbin.. Photography isnt allowed inside for security reasons. But, still people took and even posted here..

Shabby airport. Facility limited. No social distance maintained due paucity of space. AAI Authority is indifferent and unable to provide minimum facility.

Port blair international Airport or veer savarkar Airport is small. However a bigger airport is being constructed slated to be opened with in two yearsPresent airport is enough for the limited number of airlines that operate now.But people involved is another story. Most of the kiosks especially tourist info centers are unmanned most of the time. Arrogant staff, must add portblair airport staff are famous for their staring at tourists. Other staff involved in baggage handling and trolley handling behave as if their previous job was at the silicon Valley in Seattle.Expecting things to change once new airport becomes operational.Anyway ignore the airport. Enjoy the islands and its beauty.do not carry poly bags and do pack an umbrella. Rain is unpredictable.. rest make history

Good

Worst airport I have ever seen

One should carry 48 hours NC-PCR Negative Report to land in Port Blair.New terminal work is in progress. Overall its good.

One of the cleanest airport in the heart of the city....the only airport in Andaman.

While going to the portblair, whole of the scenery is very beautiful and it.looks amazing from the sky.. Indian Ocean , clouds... Though the Airport is small(due to space constraint) but it still functions very smoothly..you can even see the Indian Air force planes there..

One of the historical airports in India. Located in Port blair, was built by Japanese during WW-2 the runway is kinda small but very well maintained. The interior of the airport is decently maintained. There were very less shops to shop inside the airport in 2015. But I hope they have added much more shops for the tourists to shop now.

A small airport with all basic amenities. Cisf staff was helpful and professional. Try a small food joint just outside the entry gate. Menu card attached

This airport is not like other international airport. Its a simple one according to the surroundings. Not a big building and only one landing strip. Place has simple luggage area with ample security. Can look like as an amped up bus stand but it has its own usefulness. Place has greenery around it and its windy.

Nice one,but dont have too much facilities

Small cheif airport than kolkatas

Very good and attractive ....

Small but Well maintained airport, hygienic toilets and washrooms. Staffs are very helpful and cooperative. Luggage counter remains very crowded unlike other airports. All sorts of Information is provided to travellers if they need any. You can book taxi or rented car from here only. Outside the airport you will get local drivers who might not be so friendly. Management is superb. P.S- Well there is nothing to kill time when you are waiting to board or your flight has been delayed.👍

Small and cute. Best view during landing and take off

Nice & clean airport. They dont allow to take corals found on beaches but if you have buyed it then you have to show the bill and then they will allow you to carry it with you.

Originally known as Port Blair Airport, it was renamed in 2002 after Vinayak Damodar Savarkar who had been detained in the Cellular Jail in the city for 10 years. He was an Indian independence activist and politician who formulated the Hindu nationalist philosophy of Hindutva.It is having domestic flight and now is going for international flight also. The airport has single runway. Except for the civilian terminal operated by the Airports Authority of India, all other air traffic operations over Port Blair are undertaken by the Indian Navy.

Small airport now by 2021 you will find new airports with lot of facilities autos will cost ₹.50 to travel abreeden bazar....

Defence airport so photography is restricted. Developing into international Airport. It is a Small airport transportation services are just outside it.

Not a international airport look. well maintained and hygiene place. Airport waiting area is decent with small eateries and gift articles for visitors. Its connecting the flights from Chennai and Bangalore, Hydrabad.

Considering Port Blair isnt a big metro city, this airport is good enough. Has all the facilities from public restrooms to baby care room to self service check-in kiosk. A bit unconventional, you have to get your check-in baggage security checked before checking in.
