This makes it the 13th busiest airport in India.
The airport now flies to 28 different places.
The Odisha government and the central government worked together to make this happen.

This helps more people travel and makes the economy grow.
BPIA handled a record 51.5 lakh passengers in 2025, ranking 13th in India.
