Jaisalmer is located near the Pakistani border in the province of Rajasthan.
It's a desert town known for its tourism and natural beauty. However, it's also sparsely populated.
According to the Economic Times, the airport was supposed to open for business in August 2013.
Today, the abandoned Jaisalmer Airport sits as a reminder of the massive waste caused by poorly planned development.
Here's what the airport looks like today.
The arrival and departure lanes are empty. They should be filled with buses, cars, and Taxis.
This door leads to the check-in area.
This baggage carousel sits idle.
As are these baggage carts.
No one has ever used these dusty seats.
These dusty bathroom sinks are also brand new.
Outside, the desert environment is taking its toll on the airport.
The roads are in poor condition.
The solar panels stand dormant.
The airport's only visitor on this day is a stray dog.
Bones from a dead animal sit on a road leading to the airport.
Someone mounted satellite dishes to the outer wall of the airport.
However, Jaisalmer Airport is not beyond saving. In fact, from afar, it looks like quite a nice facility.
