Muzaffarabad Airport guide

Muzaffarabad Airport (ICAO: OPMF) is a small domestic airfield serving Muzaffarabad, the capital of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. It sits at an elevation of about 820 metres in the Jhelum valley. The Government of Pakistan Aviation Division owns the site, and the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority is its former operator.

The airport has one runway, designated 13/31. It is about 914 metres (3,000 feet) long with a bitumen surface. That length limits it to light turboprop and small aircraft.

PIA ran four weekly flights from Islamabad to Muzaffarabad and Rawalakot until 2002, when it stopped them as unprofitable. The airport saw its last reasonable traffic during the relief operations after the October 2005 Kashmir earthquake. No scheduled flights use it now, and no passenger or aircraft movement figures are published. Travellers reach Muzaffarabad by road from Islamabad.
