Deoghar is all set to be connected with air transport with the newly built domestic airport. All constructions of the airport have been completed by the Airports Authority of India and operations will start soon after formalities of technical NOC and trials are completed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
The airport will be the second airport in the state after Ranchi. Spread in a vast area of 650 acres, the design of the terminal building is inspired by the structure of Baba Baidyanath Temple. Paintings of tribal art, handicrafts, and local tourist sites are showcased on the terminal building.
