The 62,800 sq m terminal will handle 23 lakh passengers a year and could take daily flights from 16 to as many as 64.
The new three-storey terminal at Darbhanga Airport, about 54% complete in February 2026, is being built at an estimated ₹911 crore. It will have separate arrival and departure floors and handle up to 2.3 million passengers a year.
The new apron takes seven aircraft instead of two, and a multi-level car park is coming up in the civil enclave. Officials aim to open the terminal by the end of 2026.
