==Future plans==&lt;br /&gt;
Due to increasing passenger traffic and aircraft movements the [[Airports Authority of India]] is planning to extend the runway to {{convert|4075|m|ft|abbr=on}} from the existing  {{convert|2750|m|ft|abbr=on}}. An underpass will be constructed as the expansion will intersect with National Highway 31.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/varanasi/up-airport-1st-to-have-national-highway-under-runway/articleshow/64457458.cms|title=UP airport 1st to have national highway under runway - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In November 2019, the Airports Authority of India came up with a proposal for a new airport terminal, which will be completed by the year 2024. The total area of the terminal will be 58,691 m² with passenger capacity of 4.5 million per year.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=गंगा की लहरों व शिवलिंग सा होगा वाराणसी एलबीएस इंटरनेशनल एयरपोर्ट टर्मिनल, डिजाइन तैयार |url=https://www.jagran.com/uttar-pradesh/varanasi-city-new-airport-terminal-will-be-made-as-shivling-shape-19739101.html |access-date=11 February 2020 |work=Dainik Jagran |date=10 November 2019 |language=hi}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
