Gaya airport: Proposed cargo terminal to facilitate quick transportation of agri produce.
Dec 21, 2021

The proposed cargo terminal at Gaya airport would facilitate quick transportation of organic agriculture produces from Gaya and other adjoining districts into the market across India and abroad too.
The civil aviation ministry has proposed to connect Gaya airport along with Darbhanga airport with the second phase of agriculture flight operations. The ministry has shortlisted total 53 airports including Gaya and Darbhanga in Bihar in the agriculture flights 2.0 scheme. Officials claimed that Gaya has been selected for organic agriculture produces.
 
District agriculture officer Sudama Mahto said, 'There is a huge potential for organic farming in the district. The agriculture department is promoting organic farming through government and non-government agencies besides, voluntary organizations. The initiative to transport organic products by air route will provide market for the organic farm produces.'
 
Already on religious and spiritual map of the country, Gaya will emerge on national trade map after the cargo terminal becomes functional.
 
Work is in progress for construction of terminal at Gaya airport in an area covering 36 acres. In a bid to develop Gaya airport at par with international facilities, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has requested the state government to make available around 110 acres of land for expansion of the runway and other development plans.
