Ladakh moves closer to new commercial air gateways

Ladakh is pushing ahead with plans to introduce civilian flights at Thoise, with commercial operations targeted for later this year, while Kargil is also being examined for scheduled connectivity.

Thoise could be particularly transformative because it would bring air access closer to the Nubra Valley and other northern Ladakh tourism circuits.

B2B impact: New aviation access can radically change itinerary design — allowing operators to build multi-entry Ladakh products rather than routing every visitor through Leh.
