## Description

Bodh Gaya, the site of the Buddha's enlightenment, gives Gaya Airport (GAY) its purpose: the Bihar airfield is one of India's busiest seasonal pilgrimage gateways, with winter charters and scheduled flights from Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and Bhutan's Drukair. It also serves as a Hajj embarkation point for Bihar and handles a modest year-round domestic schedule. Freight capability is minimal – there is no dedicated cargo terminal and no integrator presence. Forwarders serving the region route shipments through Patna (PAT) or the major cargo airports of Kolkata (CCU) and Delhi (DEL).
