    Ishwardi Airport (IATA: IRD, ICAO: VGIS) is a domestic airport located exactly at Lalpur UpazilainNatore district but the airport and surrounding area is considered to located at Ishwardi UpazilainPabna District.[1][2][3] Biman Bangladesh Airlines operated regular flights from here to Dhaka until 1996.[4] On 18 November 2013, United Airways resumed flights to Dhaka, thus commercial services resumed after 17 years, but flights to the airport were suspended in mid-2014.[5][6]

    The Ishwardi Airport authority identifies itself to be located in Pabna District

    History[edit]

    During World War II, the airport was known as the Hijli Base Area, and was used by the Twentieth Air Force.[7] It hosted the United States Army Air Force XX Bomber Command 58th Bombardment Wing between 8–24 February 1945, prior to its deployment to the Mariana Islands.

    Airlines and destinations[edit]

    As of August 2014, no airlines serve Ishwardi Airport. United Airways was the last airline to operate there; they stopped services in mid -2014.[6]

    Location dispute[edit]

    A persistent dispute has raged between residents of Natore and Pabna, each asserting that Ishwardi Airport is situated within their respective districts. In reality, the administrative building of the airport geographically falls under Lalpur UpazilaofNatore District. But due to historical and socio-economic reasons, the airport area is considered to be a specialized administrative area of Ishwardi UpazilaofPabna District. According to official documents from Bangladesh's Civil Aviation Authority, the airport's location is documented as being within Pabna District.[1][2][3]
