This article shares exciting news about the development of a new airport in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, and what it means for the local community.
Bihar is buzzing with good news as Muzaffarpur is set to get its own airport. The Airport Authority of India has kicked off the tender process to develop the airport. This is an important step toward making the dream of Muzaffarpur Airport a reality.
Starting from Saturday, companies can download the tender documents needed for the airport project. They have until 17th November 2025 to submit their proposals. The first round of bids will be opened on 21st November, and the final bids will be reviewed on 5th December. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 27th October in Delhi to discuss technical details.
The plan includes building a runway that is 1050 meters long and 30 meters wide, along with a modern terminal building of about 1250 square meters. This terminal will be made from pre-fabricated steel to ensure efficiency. Additionally, there are plans for Patahi Airport to accommodate larger aircraft, although this will require more land.
