Sookerating Air Force Station is an Indian Air Force base located at Sookerating in the state of Assam, India. Its current status is undetermined and may be in a reserve status. During World War II, the airfield was used as a transport base by the United States Army Air Forces Tenth Air Force and Air Transport Command. From the airfield, numerous C-46 Commando aircraft flew north into China over "the Hump" to resupply Allied forces. The airfield was also used as a combat fighter airfield in 1942 to defend the Assam Valley against Japanese forces advancing from Burma.
