Overview of Gaya Airport

Gaya International Airport (IATA: GAY) sits around 12 km southwest of Gaya city and just 5 km from Bodh Gaya itself, where the Buddha is believed to have attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree at the Mahabodhi Temple. It's Bihar's second-busiest airport, built primarily to serve the seasonal flow of Buddhist pilgrims from across Asia.

Where Gaya Airport Connects To

Gaya combines year-round domestic service with seasonal international pilgrimage flights.

Domestic: Delhi, Kolkata, Varanasi
International (seasonal): Thailand, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Singapore, Vietnam

International flights here are largely tied to the Buddhist pilgrimage season rather than running year-round, so check current schedules carefully before booking.

Airlines at Gaya

Domestic carriers including IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express serve Gaya, alongside seasonal international pilgrimage charters and scheduled flights from carriers such as Druk Air.

Terminal

Gaya has a single integrated terminal handling both domestic and international flights.

Getting To and From the Airport

Taxis and auto-rickshaws are available outside the terminal for the short trip into Gaya city or on to Bodh Gaya, and many pilgrimage tour operators arrange their own transfers for groups.

Facilities at Gaya Airport
