The Bihar government has approved plans for five new airports and nine heliports across the state. The decision came during a cabinet meeting led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on October 12, 2026. These projects aim to improve regional air connectivity and bring air services closer to smaller towns and underserved areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people in these areas currently have to travel long distances to reach an airport. The government hopes to make flying more convenient by developing additional aviation facilities. It also plans to provide free pickup and drop-off services between the proposed airports, heliports, and nearby towns.<\/span><\/p>\n

The projects are part of Bihar’s efforts to strengthen regional air connectivity under the revised UDAN scheme. The state government will bear 25% of the total project cost and provide financial support and tax concessions to encourage participation. The proposed airports and heliports will be developed under the public-private partnership (PPP) model.<\/span><\/p>\n
