## Description

Fighter squadrons take priority, passengers come second, and freight does not feature at all: Bareilly (BEK/VIBY) is a civil enclave on the Indian Air Force's Trishul base in Uttar Pradesh. The single terminal covers roughly 2,500 square metres and holds about 150 passengers at a time; commercial service began on 8 March 2021. IndiGo remains the only carrier, linking Bareilly with Delhi/Noida, Navi Mumbai and Bengaluru among other cities. There is no cargo terminal, no freighter operation and no customs post for air freight, and belly capacity is negligible. Exporters in the region — cane furniture, zari embroidery, handicrafts — truck consignments roughly 260 km to Delhi (DEL) or some 250 km to Lucknow (LKO), where international air cargo handling and customs clearance are available. Road feeder services along the Delhi corridor, supported by the Delhi–Lucknow railway through Bareilly Junction, carry the hinterland traffic. No cargo development is expected at this military-dominated site in the near term.
