The Indian government has approved small aircraft operations from seven Bihar cities under the UDAN scheme, aiming to boost connectivity and economic growth. The selected cities are ¹:
- Muzaffarpur (Patahi Airport): Receives ₹25 crore for development
- Valmikinagar
- Veerpur
- Saharsa
- Munger
- Madhubani
- Purnia
To facilitate this initiative, the central government has allocated ₹190 crore for airport development, which will be undertaken by the Airports Authority of India. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) will be signed between the state government and the authority to move forward with the project.
This decision was made during a meeting chaired by the Secretary of Civil Aviation at Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan in New Delhi, with the Civil Aviation Ministry currently evaluating the 15th project proposal.[1]
