Hashimara Air Force Station (VEHX) in Jalpaiguri, India, is primarily an Indian Air Force (IAF) base with significant strategic importance, notably housing Rafale fighter jets. Despite its listing on some platforms for "Lodging Services" in the vicinity, there is no evidence of recent traveler reviews or experiences specifically pertaining to commercial passenger flights, terminal facilities, security procedures, customs/immigration, or public transportation connections at this location.
While there were discussions in 2022 about a potential upgrade of Hasimara Air Force Station into a civilian airport, there is no indication that this plan has materialized or that it currently handles public commercial air travel. Therefore, traveler sentiment and detailed experiences regarding typical airport operations are not available.
Overall Traveler Sentiment: Not applicable, as there are no readily available traveler reviews for commercial operations at this military installation.
In summary, Hashimara Air Force Station (VEHX) functions as a critical military airbase for the Indian Air Force and does not appear to serve as a public commercial airport. Consequently, there are no traveler reviews or experiences to summarize regarding its facilities, amenities, security, or transportation. Travelers seeking air services in the region would typically use Bagdogra Airport (IXB), which is a civil enclave at another Air Force Station and handles significant passenger traffic.
