Patna: Patna's Jayaprakash Narayan International (JPNI) Airport will become functional for 24-hour operations from March 25.
The Airport Authority of India (AAI) has taken a decision to this effect. The number of flights operating from Patna is expected to go up from existing 36 to 51.
With the expected hike in number of flights, Patna airport; already the 16th busiest in India, will only get busier.
As of now, scheduled flights operate for less than 12 hours at Patna airport. This is irrespective of the fact that the Air Traffic Control watch hour at Patna remains functional for 12 hours, beginning from 9.30am.
The round-the-clock operations at Patna airport will become functional after introduction of night landing facility at Patna, which will keep the airport functional from 10pm to 6am.
Most of the arrangements for night landing at Patna airport have already been completed.
