Flights to Gaya
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Gaya is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Gaya Airport (GAY), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,500 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Jay Prakash Narayan Airport (PAT, 89 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gaya Airport (regional) | GAY | 8 km (5 mi) | 7,500 ft | 380 ft |
| Jay Prakash Narayan Airport (regional) | PAT | 89 km (55 mi) | 6,410 ft | 170 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,500 ft, GAY handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 380 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
