The airport’s terminal building will be built in an area of 4000 square meters. The building will have two arrival belts with a handling capacity of 200 passengers. It will also have six check-in counters. The design will be inspired by the Shikhars of the Baidyanath Temple.Â
Spread across 653.75 acres of land, the airport will have a 2500 meter long runway. It will be designed to accommodate the operations of AirBus 320 types of aircraft.
