Gaya Airport

 

Gaya Airport, also known as Bodhgaya Airport, (IATA: GAY, ICAO: VEGY) is a public airport serving Gaya, Bihar, India. This airport is 5 kilometers away from the temple city of Bodhgaya which is Gautama Buddha's place of enlightenment. It is one of the busiest airports in Bihar after Patna. The airport operates mainly seasonal pilgrimage flights from Thailand, Myanmar and Bhutan as being the gateway to the most sacred Buddhist pilgrimage site in the world Bodh Gaya. Indigo is the only airline that operates scheduled flights to and from Gaya to Delhi and Kolkata.

Gaya airport is spread over an area of 954 acres. An additional 100 acres of land is under encroachment while another 100 acres of land from four villages is to be acquired for runway expansion. The airport terminal building, spread over 7,500 square meters can handle 250 incoming and 250 outgoing passengers. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) plans to develop the airport as a standby to the Kolkata Airport.

This airport is mainly seasonal and primarily caters to Buddhist tourists coming from South East Asian countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, etc.
