Flights to Dhanbad
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Dhanbad is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport (RDP), 85 km (53 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,186 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport (regional) | RDP | 85 km (53 mi) | 9,186 ft | 300 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,186 ft, RDP handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 300 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
