Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport

Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport, serving Patna and the wider Bihar region, opened in the 1960s and today operates roughly two passenger terminals handling domestic traffic and limited international services. As one of eastern India’s key medium-sized airports, it’s the primary gateway for travelers visiting Patna’s business and cultural hubs. The airport is conveniently located only minutes from central Patna (roughly 5–10 km) and is well connected by taxis, app-based cabs, city buses and autorickshaws for easy onward travel. Fares to and from Patna are often more affordable than major metros, and carriers such as IndiGo, SpiceJet and Vistara maintain frequent services here, making it a practical choice for budget-minded flyers.
