Gorakhpur Airport

Gorakhpur Airport (VEGK) is a medium airport in Gorakhpur, UP, India. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code VEGK or IATA code GOP. It sits in Asia.

Gorakhpur Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Gorakhpur Airport sits near sea level at 259 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Kolkata. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess inventory for VEGK updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.
