Gateway to the ancient Indus Valley civilization site.

Location
Moenjodaro, Pakistan
Moenjodaro Airport (IATA: MJD, ICAO: OPMJ) is a small domestic airport located near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mohenjo-daro in Sindh province, Pakistan. It serves as the primary air access point for visitors and researchers traveling to one of the world's oldest and most significant archaeological sites. The airport operates limited scheduled domestic services, primarily connecting Moenjodaro to Karachi.
