Bhadrapur Airport guide

Bhadrapur Airport, also called Chandragadhi Airport, is a domestic airport in Jhapa District, in the far southeast of Nepal. It lies on the northwest side of Bhadrapur and close to the Indian border, which makes it the usual air link for the eastern Terai plains. The airfield has been in use since November 1963. The Government of Nepal owns it and the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal runs it.

All scheduled flights are domestic and almost all go to Kathmandu. Buddha Air, Yeti Airlines, Saurya Airlines, Shree Airlines and Guna Airlines serve that route, and Buddha Air also flies to Pokhara. Sita Air connects the airport with Taplejung in the hills to the north. The airport won the Civil Aviation Authority's Airport of the Year award in 2013.

The single asphalt runway, 10/28, is 1,500 m long and 30 m wide, and the field sits at about 94 m elevation. A navigation system introduced in 2018 allows night flights. Airport services are limited to one small terminal and apron space for ATR 72 turboprops. In January 2026 a Buddha Air ATR 72 skidded off the runway on landing and the airport was closed while operations were prepared to resume.
