About the airport
Jaipur International Airport (JAI) is in Sanganer, about 10 km south of the centre of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan.

Terminals
There are two terminals on opposite sides of the runway. T1 is used only for international flights and was expanded between 2018 and 2024 with Rajasthani-inspired architecture. T2, opened in 2009, is the domestic terminal. Check which one your flight uses before you set off.

Services
Specific services (lounges, left luggage, currency exchange) vary, so check with the airport or your airline before counting on them.
Tips
The airport has a CAT III-B system for low-visibility operations, which is why it takes diversions of flights hit by winter fog in northern India. If you travel between December and February, allow extra time for possible delays. T1 and T2 are separate, so be clear which one you need when booking a taxi.
