Purnia Airport is new. It began commercial operations in September 2025 from a temporary terminal, using the runway of the Indian Air Force's Chunapur station, with IndiGo and Star Air as its first airlines. IndiGo links Purnea with Hyderabad, Delhi and Kolkata, while Star Air flies to Kolkata and Ahmedabad. The Hyderabad route is operated with an Airbus A320neo, and recent timetables show one flight a day. As with any new route, schedules may still settle, so confirm on your date. Search and compare on FlightGPT to see the non-stop and the alternatives through Bagdogra, Patna or Kolkata.
Purnea is the main city of Bihar's Seemanchal region, which includes Katihar, Araria and Kishanganj districts. Thousands of people from here work in Hyderabad, in construction, hospitality, security, retail and increasingly in IT, and until 2025 the journey home meant either a train of more than 30 hours or a flight to Bagdogra, Darbhanga or Patna followed by a long road trip. The non-stop cuts the journey to under half a day. It also serves students at Hyderabad's universities and coaching centres, traders in Purnea's maize and banana markets, and families travelling for weddings and festivals.
IndiGo's Purnea flight leaves from Hyderabad's single integrated terminal. The airport is about 30–35 km from Hitec City, 40 km from Secunderabad and 22–25 km from the old city. Many passengers on this route live in areas such as Kukatpally, LB Nagar or Shamshabad itself; TGSRTC Pushpak buses and app cabs cover all of these. Plan to arrive two hours before departure, especially around festivals, when the queue at the IndiGo counter fills with families checking large bags. IndiGo closes bag drop 45 minutes before departure, and DigiYatra lanes speed up security.
The standard IndiGo economy fare includes 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin baggage. Passengers going home for Chhath or a wedding often carry far more than that, and excess baggage charged at the counter is expensive. Practical tips:
Power banks must stay in the cabin and should not be used on board.
Purnia Airport currently works from a temporary terminal, so expect basic facilities: a small arrivals area, limited seating and few food options. Bags come off quickly from a single flight. The airport is on the outskirts of Purnea city, and taxis and autos are available outside, though it is wise to have family or a hotel arrange a pickup. Approximate road distances from Purnea city:
Local demand for a permanent terminal and more routes is strong, so facilities may change.
Many passengers on this route are first-time flyers. A few things help. Book your ticket in the name exactly as it appears on your Aadhaar or other ID. Do web check-in on the IndiGo website, which opens 48 hours before departure, and keep the boarding pass on your phone or printed. At Hyderabad, follow signs for domestic departures, drop bags at the IndiGo counter, then go through security, where liquids, power banks and laptops are checked. Boarding starts about 45 minutes before departure. On arrival in Purnea, collect bags from the belt and keep the baggage tag until you leave the terminal, as staff may check it.
Demand from Hyderabad to Purnea is shaped by Bihar's festival calendar. The biggest peak is Chhath Puja, which follows Diwali in October or November; nearly every Bihari household in Hyderabad tries to travel home then. Other busy windows:
With a single daily jet, the Chhath and Diwali flights sell out early. Book as soon as your leave is approved, and consider Kolkata or Bagdogra as backups.
Before Purnia Airport opened, Seemanchal travellers used several other airports, and they remain useful backups. Bagdogra (serving Siliguri) is roughly 170–180 km from Purnea and has flights from Hyderabad. Darbhanga and Patna are both several hours away by road. Kolkata has many daily flights from Hyderabad and IndiGo and Star Air both fly Kolkata–Purnea. By rail, trains to Katihar or Purnea from Secunderabad take more than a day. For the return direction, see the Purnea to Hyderabad page.

Most travellers prefer the Hyderabad to Purnea non-stop option. The direct Hyderabad-Purnea flight time is ≈ 2h 25m. If you are flexible, 1-stop alternatives through major hubs can be 15-30 percent cheaper.
