Flights to Purnia
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Purnia is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Biratnagar Airport (BIR), 81 km (50 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 4,937 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biratnagar Airport (regional) | BIR | 81 km (50 mi) | 4,937 ft | 236 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 4,937 ft, BIR handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 236 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
