๐ข Terminal Information
Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, Ayodhya (AYJ) is a newly developed international airport serving the historic and religiously significant city of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, India. Conceived as a major gateway for pilgrims and tourists visiting the revered Ram Temple, this airport features a modern, integrated terminal building designed with traditional Indian architectural elements, providing a blend of contemporary functionality and cultural reverence. The terminal efficiently handles both domestic flights, connecting Ayodhya to major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, and has plans for expanding regional international connectivity.\n\nSecurity procedures at AYJ are robust and adhere to Indian national aviation regulations, managed by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). Passengers can expect thorough screening of both carry-on and checked luggage, along with personal security checks before entering the departure lounge. As a new facility, it is designed for efficient passenger flow, though during major religious festivals or peak pilgrimage seasons, increased passenger volumes may lead to longer processing times. It is advisable to arrive with ample time. Boarding is typically facilitated via jet bridges, with the potential for apron boarding for smaller aircraft.\n\nAmenities within the terminal are designed to cater to the diverse needs of its visitors. There are several cafes and food outlets offering a range of Indian cuisine and refreshments. Retail options include souvenir shops selling religious artifacts, local handicrafts, and travel essentials. Free Wi-Fi is usually available. For ground transportation, taxis and app-based ride services are readily available outside the terminal, providing convenient connections to Ayodhya city center, the Ram Temple, and nearby hotels. The airport represents a significant development for the region's tourism and economic growth.
