Due to lack of regular air service at Taringaun, passengers had to go to Nepalgunj or Bhairahawa.
Also, the runway of the airport is small, so large aircraft have not been able to land. Currently, only a 19-seat aircraft can land at the airport. The runway of the airport is now 750 meters long. There have been repeated calls to extend the runway.
This airport was built in 2011 BS.
