Flights to Darbhanga
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Darbhanga is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Darbhanga Airport (DBR), 5 km (3 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,000 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Janakpur Airport (JKR, 62 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Darbhanga Airport (regional) | DBR | 5 km (3 mi) | 9,000 ft | 156 ft |
| Janakpur Airport (regional) | JKR | 62 km (39 mi) | 3,300 ft | 256 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,000 ft, DBR handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 156 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
