Question 1

What is the Bareilly Air Funnel Zone and which airbase does it cover?

Accepted Answer

It covers the height restriction corridor around Trishul Air Base in Izzatnagar, an Indian Air Force installation that also hosts Bareilly Airport, the public civil enclave, on the same site rather than as a separate facility.

Question 2

Is Bareilly's airport a civilian or military facility?

Accepted Answer

Both. Bareilly Airport operates as a civil enclave, under the Airports Authority of India, inside the Indian Air Force's Trishul Air Base, one of the IAF's larger airbases and a historically sensitive installation.

Question 3

How fast is passenger traffic growing at Bareilly Airport?

Accepted Answer

Aircraft movements rose 33.8 percent in the most recent reporting year, though annual passengers remain modest at just over 121,000, reflecting the airport's status as a newly expanding UDAN-scheme connection.

Question 4

What is the exact height formula near Trishul Air Base's runway?

Accepted Answer

Permitted height equals 2 percent of the distance from the runway edge along the approach and departure path, a 1:50 slope, in addition to the fixed 45 metre cap within 4 km under the Inner Horizontal Surface.

Question 5

Does Bareilly's history as a reconnaissance base affect civilian construction rules?

Accepted Answer

The base's defence-sensitive operational history means construction proposals near the runway can draw Air Force review alongside the standard AAI process, adding a layer of scrutiny beyond an ordinary civilian airport.

Question 6

Do I need both an AAI NOC and IAF clearance to build near Bareilly airport?

Accepted Answer

For land inside or near the funnel and inner surface zones, yes in practice, since AAI handles routine civilian height clearance while the Air Force reviews anything touching its operational interests on the same base.

Question 7

What happens if my land near Bareilly is both agricultural and inside the funnel zone?

Accepted Answer

Both restrictions apply independently. You need a Section 80 conversion order under the UP Revenue Code for the land use itself, plus a separate AAI or IAF height clearance for any structure you plan to build.

Question 8

What happens if a building is constructed near Bareilly without a height NOC?

Accepted Answer

Unauthorised construction near an active airbase risks demolition orders and denial of occupancy certificates, consistent with enforcement patterns at other Indian airports where height rules were ignored without the required clearance.
