The Advanced Landing Ground will carry out fixed wing operations in Arunachal Pradesh.
The Vijaynagar ALG will be inaugurated jointly by the Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Command – Air Marshal RD Mathur and General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Easterna Command – Lt General Anil Chauhan.
The duo will be landing at the Vijaynagar ALG in an AN-32 aircraft with other senior IAF and army officials.

The Vijayanagar ALG is situated in a remote corner of Arunachal Pradesh, very close to the international border with Myanmar, and is not connected with any motorable road.
