I think our bihar gov not intrested to devloped an international airport, we have got a news last year in aug 09 almost every news paper that Bihta have approved for IAP. and only few central formalies was due for clearance as per Mr Agrawal (Cheif AAI) see the below news in Hindustan time.
Subject to clearance from the defence ministry, the Jayaprakash Narayan International (JPNI) Airport is headed further west - towards Bihta. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has agreed to the shift, given the severe constraints in runway expansion here. Talking to newspersons after a marathon meeting with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in Patna on Thursday, AAI chairman VP Agarwal said the authority would explore option of constructing a civil enclave at Bihta.
Hindustan times 28 Aug 2009"Since the Bihta airport, which comes under the IAF, has a runway length of 8,200 feet and is less utilised, we will prefer shifting the existing airport there, subject to defence clearance. Acquiring merely 500-800 acres on the western end of Bihta airport will enable us have a runway length of 9,000 feet, which is conducive for wide-bodied aircraft and enable operation of international flights," he said.
Agarwal lamented that with the Secretariat tower on one end and the railway cabin on the other, nothing much could be done for the development of the existing airport.
After above news none of our news paper or media follow the progress. And my friends i have visited many time Bihta airport i think once it ll opreated i ll b one of the best airport, you can reach patna by road 25 to 30 min maximum and also u have train rute same 25 min.. I ll request gov to show there intrest to devlope international airport at Bihta. Friends who not aware about Bihta location i ll give u some info.
1. From Bihta airpoart via khagol road 25 min time to reach Patna.
2. From Bihta airport via Maner and danapur cant 35 min to reach patna.
3. From Bihta airport only 1 km railway station for all the all the destinations.
4. From Bihta airport you can take the road Bikram, pali, to jahanabad , gaya, Bhojpur & Buxar etc.
5. From Bihta one new road going to start soon Bihta Sarmera road its state highway and short time to reach till mokama. I think Bihta will be better option for new airport.
One thing is very clear if Bihta gona select gov dont have to spend more money to built this aiport. The below map is showing the boundry of airport even airport land outside the boundry.
Please have a look Bihta airport 25km west from Patna Jn.

I think you have wrong information about Bihta, If you are going to visit Patna in future u have a look. 20 km from current airport is not so far. I have given enough reason y Bihta will b best place. I mean if Patna current airport developing its fine but if you wana move some where else than Bihta is perfect place. Any way u can tell us ur doubt i will try to justify as much as possible.
Comment by Shalu Sharma on January 28, 2013 at 3:26pm Bad idea to shift Patna airport to Bihta. Looks like Bihta is the New Bangalore. We will oppose this move. I am not happy with the idea of the airport to be moved out of Patna.
Comment by Atik Warsi on January 28, 2013 at 2:55pm There is a new hope, If Nitish jee ki kirpa ho jaaye, bad me humey central gov ko moka nahi dena chahiye ki Nitish jee ne help nahi kiya airport banane me.

latest update Indian gov ready to shift Bihta but now upto Bihar gov
Comment by Shalu Sharma on January 22, 2012 at 2:03pm The Bihar government has no interest on this.
Comment by Shalu Sharma on December 28, 2011 at 4:44pm There is no talk of an international airport recently. So those aspiring to have one in Patna will have to wait longer.

Comment by Atik Warsi on May 9, 2011 at 5:12pm Yes Rohini jee,
Even i have seen your link and i heared that now Bihar gov presurised by AAI because lots of flight company eger to give service from Patna. 2 days back i came from Patna and u cant imagin the crowds of frequent flyers. It was rush like Patna jn railway staition. People are traveling Chennai, banglore and mumbai and lot of International destinations via via via all via dehli. It really neceserry to upgrade the Patna airport as soon as possible becuase new ap will take long time even its approve. Hope for the best becuase now they cant ignore the things easly.
And please you dont care low mind people what they sayin as per them IA will benifited only u and me hahaha stupid ppl.
Have a nice day be in touch take care
atik

Comment by Atik Warsi on March 14, 2011 at 10:33am But right now for IA only prob is land and effort of Bihar gov. If you remembered when Laalu was CM that time also asked by central to devloped IA but Lallo rejected. I have written clearly in my blog that central approved allready and there was meeting with aviation head and our CM Mr.Nitish Kumar and press released that Bihta will be perfect becuase every most of the things are ready only Bihar gov have to aqure 100 acare more land. And Bihar CM was agreed on that but when election came same time every thing became cool.
subsidy in many thing going on India not only on Haj i can give u many example. Aviation department doesnt have any money prob.
