&#039;&#039;&#039;Dhanbad Airport&#039;&#039;&#039; {{Airport codes|DBD|VEDB}} is a public airport located at [[Dhanbad]], in the state of [[Jharkhand]], [[India]]. It is situated alongside the [[Grand Trunk Road]] at [[Barwaada]]. There are no scheduled flights into this airport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The airport last saw scheduled commercial operations in the 1980s, when [[Vayudoot]] operated services to [[Patna]], [[Kolkata]] and [[Ranchi]] until 1987. Since then, the airport is only used by small aircraft and helicopters. The then chief minister of Jharkhand [[Shibu Soren]] inaugurated a new passenger waiting hall in October 2008.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Airport plan takes wing |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1120106/jsp/jharkhand/story_14962521.jsp#.Ur_VFHnoWaA |publisher=[[The Telegraph (Calcutta)|The Telegraph]] |date= 6 January 2012 |access-date=29 December 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The State&#039;s Civil Aviation department invited proposals in July 2011 for operation of the airport based on [[Public-private partnership]] (PPP) model wherein the infrastructure would be provided by the State Government while the private company would be allowed to start chartered flights in addition to taking responsibility of day-to-day maintenance of the airport for a tenure of ten years. The private entity would be expected to construct administrative buildings, air traffic control and hangars.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Dhanbad, Dumka on chartered flight path |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110814/jsp/frontpage/story_14377165.jsp |publisher=[[The Telegraph (Calcutta)|The Telegraph]] |date= 14 August 2011 |access-date=29 December 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
