History
This airport was built as part of the resettlement and malaria control program in the Chitwan Valley, with the assistance of the Government of the United States of America.[citation needed] The airport was built in 1958 and the first passenger flight landed at the airport on 5 March 1965.[3] From 1981 to 1985, the airport was shut down due political instabilities in Southern Nepal.[4] In 2005, a new terminal was built and the 1158-metre runway was paved to enable medium-sized aircraft. A proposal for further expansion to provide additional services and expand land coverage was passed in 2019.[5]
Facilities
The airport resides at an elevation of 600 feet (183 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway, which measures 1,158 by 30 metres (3,799 ft × 98 ft).[2]
