Jay Prakash Narayan Airport (IATA: PAT, ICAO: VEPT) is a domestic airport serving Patna, the capital of Bihar, India. Named after the independence activist and political leader Jayprakash Narayan, it is the 20th-busiest airport in India. To cater to burgeoning demand that far outstripped capacity, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) initiated an ambitious project to expand and modernise the airport infrastructure. The airport subsequently underwent an expansion project that included the construction of a new two-level passenger terminal, which was inaugurated on 29 May 2025.
