Deoghar to get airport
New Delhi: The Hindu holy town of Deoghar in Jharkhand will soon figure on the country’s air
map as the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has decided to set up an airport there.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was recently signed by AAI and Jharkhand for
establishing an airport in Deoghar. It was signed in the presence of AAI chairman VP Agarwal
and Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda.

“As per the MoU, the AAI would develop an airport in Deoghar, initially for ATR-72-type aircraft
operations and subsequently for A-321-type of aircraft operations depending upon the demand
and traffic potential,” the AAI said in a statement today.
Earlier, the AAI had said in a statement that the pact was signed between it and the Jharkhand
government on 16 February for development of airports in Jamshedpur and Bokaro.
Jharkhand had later denied signing of the pact for Jamshedpur and Bokaro and said in a
statement that “the Jharkhand government has signed an MoU with the AAI only for the
Deogarh airport. No other airport has been included in this MoU.”
