๐ข Terminal Information
Bareilly Air Force Station (BEK), also known as Trishul Air Base, serves the city of Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh, India. This significant military airfield operates as a joint-use facility, hosting both a major Indian Air Force base and a civilian enclave for regional passenger traffic. The airport features a single runway and has recently expanded its civilian terminal facilities, including a new 3,020 sqm terminal opened in March 2021, designed to handle over 300 passengers. Its layout integrates civil operations alongside one of the Indian Air Force's largest bases under Central Air Command, housing advanced aircraft like the Su-30 MKI fighters.\n\nSecurity at BEK is extremely strict due to its active military status. Civilian passengers access a separate terminal, where security screening is managed by authorized personnel, and all protocols adhere to Indian military and civilian aviation regulations. While there are no scheduled commercial airlines in the conventional sense, civilian charter flights operate, connecting Bareilly to major Indian cities. It is advisable to confirm operational status and any specific access requirements well in advance, as military operations can influence civilian schedules. Boarding is typically conducted by bus transfer to aircraft on the apron.\n\nAmenities within the civilian terminal are basic but functional. The expanded terminal offers comfortable waiting areas, restrooms, and potentially a small cafรฉ or snack bar. Travelers will not find extensive retail shops or luxury lounges. For ground transportation, taxis and auto-rickshaws are typically available outside the terminal, providing convenient connections to Bareilly city center. The airport serves as a critical asset for both national defense and regional connectivity, supporting the cultural and economic activities of Uttar Pradesh.
