About Prayagraj Deendayal Upadhyay Airport / Bamrauli Air Force Station

Prayagraj Airport (IATA: IXD, ICAO: VEAB), also known as Allahabad Airport, is a domestic airport and an Indian Air Force base serving the city of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. Located in the Bamrauli suburb of the city, it is one of the oldest airports in India. This airport is currently under joint operation of the Indian Air Force and the Airports Authority of India.

Foreseeing the Kumbh 2019, the airport was upgraded with the addition of a new civil terminal extension in 2018, which was constructed in a record 11 months by Tata Projects. A new, larger terminal was built just next to this terminal that was completed in January 2025 to cater to the massive flow of traffic during Kumbh 2025. This latest addition and the phenomenal festival made the airport structurally a single terminal after refurbishing, and made it among the nation's busiest, with passenger traffic crossing 1 million for the first time in financial year 2024-25.
