The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has announced a tender for the upgrade of Saharsa Airport, located in the Kosi region of Bihar. The tender seeks proposals to enhance the airport's infrastructure, aiming to improve connectivity and capacity for the area.
Bihar's Chief Minister praised the development, describing it as a "major achievement for the entire Kosi region." He emphasized that the upgraded facility will boost economic activity, facilitate travel, and integrate the region more closely with national air networks.
