Darbhanga Airport
Darbhanga Airport is the longest runway airport of Bihar and is operated by
the Indian Air Force at present. It is spread over a 200-acre area of the
city. It was built exclusively for the use of Maharajah of Darbhanga's
aeroplanes.
Spirit Air started operations from Darbhanga in 2009, but was
forced to withdraw due to its smaller strip. Very soon Skyfisher Airways
would start air services from Darbhanga to Ranchi, Kathmandu, Raxaul and
Varanasi.
Darbhanga Aviations was a private Indian airline started in 1950 by Maharaja
Kameshwar Singh of Darbhanga. It had three aircraft and became defunct by
1962.
Spirit Airways started their flight from Darbhanga to major cities of India

The terminal has six check-in counters, and a capacity to handle 200 peak
hour passengers. A car parking facility has a capacity of 30 cars.
