RUP is the airport code for Rupsi Airport, which serves the towns of Dhubri and Kokrajhar in western, or Lower, Assam in northeastern India. Located near Dhubri in the Bodoland Territorial Region, it was originally built by the British in the Second World War as an airfield for the Allied China-Burma-India campaign, and was revived under India's regional connectivity scheme, reopening to commercial flights in 2021 after decades of closure. It now links this part of Assam to Guwahati and Kolkata. The surrounding region lies along the mighty Brahmaputra River, near the borders with West Bengal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, an area of rivers, tea and diverse cultures rather than a major tourist circuit. Rupsi is reached by these domestic flights and by road and rail. The climate is subtropical, with a hot, wet monsoon and a mild, drier winter that is the most comfortable season.
