Shimla Airport is a regional airport located in Jubbarhatti, 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Shimla, in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. Kingfisher Airlines used to operate the sole daily flight from Delhi, but could not carry more than 28 passengers on its return journey because of load restrictions imposed on the aircraft due to Shimla's high altitude. It ceased operations to Shimla in September 2012.
