Bhatinda Airport (BUP), also commonly spelled Bathinda, opened for commercial operations in 2016 as a civil enclave at the Bathinda Air Force Station. The compact airport has a single terminal and acts as a small but important regional gateway to Punjab’s Malwa area, handling short‑haul flights to major Indian cities. Located just a few kilometres from Bathinda city centre, it’s well connected by taxis, local buses and the nearby Bathinda Junction rail hub for easy onward travel. Generally positioned as an affordable option—especially under India’s UDAN regional scheme—the airport is served by regional carriers such as SpiceJet and Alliance Air rather than functioning as a major airline hub.

Bring rupees ahead of time: Bhatinda’s small terminal has no currency exchange and typically just one ATM by the arrivals exit, which can run out of cash. For better rates and fewer fees, use bank ATMs or money changers in town (or in Delhi/Chandigarh) and always decline currency conversion at the machine.
Flying from Bhatinda? There’s no duty‑free in this small domestic terminal, so save the bargains for your international connection—Delhi or Amritsar—for better deals on liquor, fragrance, and chocolates.
Grabbing a bite here is simple: a couple of snack counters and a tea‑coffee kiosk near check-in and by the gates serve samosas, sandwiches, and hot chai. Prices are modest by airport standards—about ₹30–50 for tea, ₹100–150 for coffee, and ₹250–350 for a light meal—only a little higher than in town.
Minor issues are handled quickly at Bhatinda Airport’s first‑aid room near the Arrivals side of the compact terminal, generally staffed during flight hours. There isn’t a full pharmacy on site, but staff can help source medicines or arrange an ambulance, while city chemists are a short drive away.
Travel light through this compact terminal—there are no on-site lockers. For storage, use Bathinda Junction’s cloakroom or a hotel in town; both are inexpensive, secure, and reachable in about 30–40 minutes by taxi.
Settle into the calm, air‑conditioned departures hall with handy charging spots and snacks, or pause in the small landside area if you’re meeting a ride. There’s no formal lounge at Bhatinda Airport, but quiet corners, straightforward amenities, and light crowds make short waits comfortable.
