Bagaha is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Gautam Buddha International Airport (BWA), 81 km (50 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Gorakhpur Airport (GOP, 75 km).
