Trishul Air Base

Trishul Air Base, one of the Indian Air Force's largest, is a part of the Central Air Command. The base has a squadron of Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighters and a helicopter squadron. It had Foxbat spyplanes capable of flying up to 80,000 feet (24,000 m).[1][2][3] Its underground hangar is considered one of Asia's largest.

Civil enclave

The Airports Authority of India approved construction of a passenger terminal at the Bareilly civil enclave.[4] The district administration bought 10 hectares (25 acres) of land from local farmers for the project.[5] The AAI began the tender process to award construction contracts for the airport in September 2017 and expected the civil enclave to be ready by March 2018, pending Uttar Pradesh government approval.[6] However, the IAF requested changes in the layout of the taxiway connecting the terminal to the runway.[7] After the Ministry of Defence approved the taxiway, passenger service was hoped to begin by February 2019.[8]
