Patna: There's good news for fliers. Airport Authority of India (AAI) has decided to start 24-hour operations at Patna's Jayaprakash Narayan International (JPNI) Airport from March 25, when the number of flights is expected to go up to 49.
At present, scheduled flights operate for less than 12 hours at the airport, even as the Air Traffic Control watch hour is for 12 hours, beginning from 9.30am. Given the increase in number of flights and passengers, Patna, the 16th busiest airport in India, will only get busier.
'The round-the-clock service will allow night operations as well, from 10pm to 6am, thereby reducing daytime air traffic," JPNI director R S Lahouria said. "Most of the arrangements for night landing at the airport here have been completed."
