About Rajbiraj Airport
Rajbiraj Airport is a domestic airport serving Rajbiraj town, Saptari District and the surrounding Madhesh Province in southeastern Nepal. Originally inaugurated in 1959, the airport reopened to scheduled commercial flights in 2018 after runway and infrastructure improvements brought it back into regular use.
Located close to central Rajbiraj, the airport provides a convenient domestic connection for travelers moving between the town and Kathmandu. Its compact terminal and single asphalt runway are designed to handle a modest level of passenger traffic, arrivals, departures and ground transportation.
The airport sits roughly 3 km from the Rajbiraj city centre, making the journey between the terminal and the town relatively short by taxi or private transfer. Road connections allow onward travel within Saptari District and nearby parts of Madhesh Province.
With a small waiting area, basic refreshment options and essential passenger services, Rajbiraj Airport functions as a practical local gateway for visitors and residents travelling in Nepal's southeastern plains.
