Recent information indicates that Chushul Airstrip (IN-0279) in Chushul, India, is primarily a military airstrip and is not currently available for civilian flights or public travel. Therefore, there are no recent traveler reviews or experiences from the general public regarding sentiment, terminal facilities, security, or transportation.
The airstrip holds significant military and historical importance, particularly in the context of the 1962 Sino-Indian War, where it played a crucial logistical role. Recent reports from late 2025 indicate plans for the revival and upgrade of the airstrip by the Ministry of Defence to handle military operations, including UAVs, helicopters, and medium-lift aircraft. While there have been recommendations to potentially upgrade it to a military-cum-commercial airfield to boost tourism, this is not yet a current development.
Given its strategic location in a high-altitude border region and its exclusive military status, Chushul Airstrip does not cater to public travel. As such, there are no traveler experiences to summarize regarding typical airport amenities, wait times, or transportation.
