==History==
Begusarai Airport is an airport that is located on the east side of [[Begusarai]]. There are no scheduled flights to and from this airport. There have been demands for air services from this airport but no work has been done by the [[Government of Bihar]] to start this airport.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bihar: No proposal received for flight operations from Begusarai Airport|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/bihar-no-proposal-received-for-flight-operations-from-begusarai-says-vijay-kumar-singh/articleshow/93313171.cms|website=www.timesofindia.indiatimes.com|access-date=3 August 2022}}</ref> The runaway of the airport is very short and expansion works would need to be carried out in order for larger aircraft to fly to the [[airport]]. In July 2022, [[V. K. Singh|V.K Singh]] from the [[Ministry of Civil Aviation (India)|Ministry of Civil Aviation]] clarified that the Begusarai Airport is included in the list of airports under the [[UDAN|Udan Scheme]], but no proposals have been received from [[airlines]] to start flight operations from the airport.<ref>{{cite web|title=Begusarai Airport: बेगूसराय वालों के लिए मायूसी वाली खबर, केंद्र ने कहा- फिलहाल यहां एयरपोर्ट की कोई योजना नहीं|url=https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/state/bihar/begusarai/no-proposal-for-begusarai-airport-so-far-said-general-vk-singh-in-rajyasabha/articleshow/93314133.cms|website=www.navbharattimes.indiatimes.com|access-date=3 August 2022}}</ref> It has also been proposed that a [[greenfield land|greenfield]] airport be built in [[Begusarai]], but government officials have said there are no current plans to do so. Begusari is a growing city in [[Bihar]], and there are a large amount of industries located in the city. Many local business owners and [[industrialists]] have also been recently demanding to start air services from Begusarai as the city is expanding and to boost [[economic growth]], an airport will be necessary.<ref>{{cite web|title=बेगूसराय में हवाई सेवा का सपना पूरा होने की जगी उम्मीद, राज्यसभा में फिर उठा हवाई सेवा की मांग|url=https://thebegusarai.in/begusarai-news/begusarai-airport-there-is-hope-of-fulfillment-of-the-dream-of-air-service-in-begusarai-the-demand-for-air-service-again-raised-in-rajya-sabha/|website=www.thebegusarai.in|access-date=3 August 2022}}</ref> Several large [[corporations]] are located near the airport such as [[NTPC Limited]], and [[Fertilizer Corporation of India|Urvarak Nagar Barauni]]. The airport is also located near the [[Barauni Refinery]] which is owned by [[Indian Oil]], and starting an airport would help further improve connectivity to industrial cities like Begusarai.<ref>{{cite web|title=Why an airport is needed in Begusarai|url=https://www.jagran.com/bihar/begusarai-need-for-airport-in-industrial-district-begusarai-22944097.html|website=www.jagran.com|access-date=3 August 2022}}</ref>
