Daporijo Airport (IATA: DEP, ICAO: VEDZ) is located at Daporijo in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, India. Daporijo used to have scheduled services in the 1980s and early 1990s from Vayudoot. The airport had flights to Guwahati and Dibrugarh on Dornier Do 228 aircraft. Currently, there is no scheduled commercial air service to the airport, although the airport is used by the Indian Army.
