List of Indian Air Force Bases
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Indian Air Force currently operates seven Air Commands. Each Command is headed by a Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the rank of Air Marshal.
The Air Force currently has over 60 air bases all over India. These are grouped into one of 5 Air Commands (apart from Training Command and Maintenance Command).
There are a number of newer air bases being built as well, in line with India's strategic doctrine. The Indian Navy has some separate air bases for its aviation wing. The International Air Command operates only one air base currently, which is the Farkhor Air Base, in Tajikistan.
