History


Bokaro Airport was built in the late 1960s to handle private flights for officers of the steel company. It began operating as a private airport until 2010. In the mid-2010s, Jharkhand's former chief minister Raghubar Das drafted a plan to develop this airport to handle scheduled commercial flights for the common people.[7] For this, he and former minister of state for civil aviation Jayant Sinha jointly laid foundation for the airport expansion.[8] The development work includes resurfacing and strengthening of existing runways of length 1673 meters and width 30 metres, apron, taxi track, including grading of the operational area, along with the provision of expendable low-cost terminal building, control tower, ESS building, watch tower and installation of PAPI and other miscellaneous civil and electrical works.
