Srinagar International Airport (IATA: SXR, ICAO: VISR) is an international airport serving Srinagar, the summer capital of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It is located in Budgam, about 12 km (7.5 mi) south of Srinagar. It is owned by the Indian Air Force, and the Airports Authority of India operates a civil enclave at the airport, which was opened in 1979. It was designated as an international airport in 2005. It has an integrated domestic and international terminal with one asphalt runway. In 2015, the Government of Jammu and Kashmir proposed to officially rename the airport as Sheikh ul-Alam Airport after Nund Rishi, a Kashmiri Sufi saint, who was known by the title of Sheikh ul-Alam. However, the name of the airport was not officially changed.
