According to him, flights are operated every day except Wednesday and Saturday.


Due to the lack of regular air service at Tarigaun, passengers had to travel to Nepalgunj or Bhairahawa for flights.


Additionally, the airport's runway is small, preventing large aircraft from landing. Currently, only 19-seat aircraft can operate at the airport. The runway is 750 meters long, and there have been repeated calls to extend it.


Tarigaun Airport was built in 2011 BS.
