By , Author, Air Travel Writer · Updated

Along (Aalo) Airport (IXV) in Arunachal Pradesh has no civil passenger terminal and no scheduled commercial flights, so there are no passenger smoking facilities.

The airstrip is a small hill facility with no regular airline service. A future greenfield civil airport for Along has been proposed and was under survey in 2025, but as of 2026 nothing is built or operating for commercial passengers. As a result there is no departure hall, no airside area, and no designated smoking zone.

If you find yourself near the airfield and choose to smoke, do so in the open air well away from any building and other people. E-cigarettes and vapes are banned everywhere in India under the PECA 2019 law.
