Bajhang Airport is a domestic airport located in Jayaprithvi serving Bajhang District, a district in Sudurpashchim Province in Nepal.
The airport was originally opened in October 1976 but ceased to operate after road access to the district headquarter Chainpur was established in 2008.[1] [2] There are plans to reopen the airport after the runway is blacktopped, which was due to be done by 2020.[3] Until 2022, there were no scheduled services to and from Bajhang Airport. Previously Nepal Airlines operated routes to Nepalgunj and Dhangadhi.[4]
The airport resides at an elevation of 4100feet above mean sea level. It has one runway which is 654m (2,146feet) in length.[1]
