Saidu Sharif Airport (IATA: SDTICAO: OPSS) is an airport in Pakistan. It is situated near the Swat River and between villages of Dherai and Kanju in the North-West Frontier Province. The airport was built in the era of the late Wali Swat (the last ruler of the State of Swat) and two flights take place daily: one from this airport to Peshawar International Airport and the other to Islamabad International Airport. Many visitors that come to the valley of Swat and to the Malam Jabba ski resort in summers fly to Swat through this airport.
