Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (IATA: CCU, ICAO: VECC)[a] is the international airport serving the city of Kolkata and the Kolkata metropolitan area, the capital metropolis of the Indian state of West Bengal. It is the primary aviation hub for eastern and northeastern India. It is located in Dum Dum and in proximity to Jessore Road, approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) from Dalhousie Square and Howrah Junction via the Howrah Bridge. The airport was originally known as Dum Dum Airport before being renamed in 1995 after Subhas Chandra Bose, one of the most prominent leaders of the Indian independence movement. The airport's IATA code CCU is associated with "Calcutta", the city's name until 2001. Opened in 1924, the airport is one of the oldest airports in India.[5]

Spread over an area of 6.64 square kilometres (2.56 sq mi), the airport is the largest hub for air traffic in the eastern part of the country and one of the four operational airports in the state, the others being Bagdogra Airport in Siliguri, Cooch Behar Airport in Cooch Behar and Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport in Durgapur. The airport handled around 22 million passengers in the financial year 2024–25, making it the sixth-busiest airport in India in terms of passenger traffic, after Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai airports.[2] The airport is also a major centre for flights to northeast India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Southeast Asia and the Middle Eastern cities of Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi.

History

Early history

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport was founded in the early 1900s as the Calcutta Aerodrome.[6][better source needed] The airport traditionally served as a strategic stopover on the air route from North America and Europe to Indochina and Australia.[citation needed] Dakota 3 was the first aircraft to land in the airport.[7] In 1924, KLM began scheduled stops at Calcutta, as part of their Amsterdam to Batavia (Jakarta) route.[8][9][10] The same year, a Royal Air Force aircraft landed in Calcutta as part of the first round-the-world expedition by any air force.[11][12][13]

The airport began as an open ground next to the Royal Artillery Armoury in Dum Dum.[13][14][15][16] Sir Stanley Jackson, Governor of Bengal, opened the Bengal Flying Club at Dum Dum/Calcutta aerodrome in February 1929.[17] In 1930, the airfield was made fit for use throughout the year,[18] and other airlines began to utilise the airport. Air Orient began scheduled stops as part of a Paris to Saigon route[19] and Imperial Airways began flights from London to Australia via Calcutta in 1933, thus drew many airlines to Calcutta Airport.[10][20][21] Many pioneering flights passed through the airport, including Amelia Earhart's in 1937.[22][23][24]

Calcutta played an important role in the Second World War. In 1942, the United States Army Air Forces 7th Bombardment Group flew B-24 Liberator bombers from the airport on combat missions over Burma. The airfield was used as a cargo aerial port for the Air Transport Command and was also used as a communication centre for the Tenth Air Force.[25][13]

Post-independence (1947–2007)

Nepal Airlines at Dum Dum Airport in 1974

Passenger services grew after the Second World War. Calcutta became a destination for the world's first jet-powered passenger aircraft, the de Havilland Comet, on a British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) route to London.[12][26][27] Furthermore, in 1964 Indian Airlines introduced the first Indian domestic jet service, using Caravelle jets on the Calcutta–Delhi route.[28] Between the 1940s and 1960s, the airport was served by several major airlines including Aeroflot,[29] Air France,[30] Alitalia,[31] Cathay Pacific,[32] Japan Airlines,[33] Philippine Airlines,[34] KLM,[35] Lufthansa,[36] Pan Am,[37] Qantas,[38] Swissair,[35] and SAS.[39]

Due to the introduction of longer-haul aircraft and the poor political climate of Calcutta during the 1960s and also during the year 1971, several airlines discontinued their service to the airport. The 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War saw a large increase of both refugees and disease in Calcutta, causing more airlines to cease services to the city. In 1975, the airport opened the first dedicated cargo terminal in India.[citation needed]

The 1990s saw new growth for Calcutta Airport, as the Indian aviation industry saw the arrival of new airlines such as Jet Airways and Air Sahara. A new domestic terminal named Terminal 2 was opened in 1995 making the international one Terminal 1, and the airport was renamed in honour of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. In 2000, a new international arrival hall was opened.[7][40]

The year 2005 saw the growth of low-cost carriers in the Indian aviation sector, with new airlines including SpiceJet, IndiGo, and Kingfisher Airlines. This led to a dramatic rise in passenger numbers at the airport. Overcrowding in both terminals led to the implementation of a comprehensive modernisation plan for the airport.[41][42][43]

Modernisation (2008–present)

The modernisation plan for the Kolkata Airport received the final nod on 14 August 2008. The project, worth ₹1,942.51 crore (US$446.5 million), included the construction of a new terminal building with a passengers handling capacity of 20 million passengers per annum (mppa), expansion of secondary runway, upgradation of the navigation facilities, addition of taxiways and parking bays and . The then existing domestic and international terminals had a capacity of 4.06 mppa and 0.88 mppa, respectively, and were already saturated having handled 6.45 million and 1.01 million passengers in 2007–08. During 2003–08, the airport saw a 21.4% growth in domestic traffic and 6.4% growth in international traffic with further traffic growth of 19% per annum expected till 2011–12. A series of approvals were granted between April 2007 and May 2008 from multiple authorities for the project.[44]

Meanwhile, the secondary runway was to be extended to 3,239 m (10,627 ft) at a cost of ₹35 crore (US$8.05 million) along with the construction of 11 parking bays and a taxiway at ₹65 crore (US$14.94 million) and the upgradation of infrastructure including Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) equipment at ₹185 crore (US$42.52 million). A fund of ₹40 crore (US$9.19 million) was also allocated to construct a grade separator and connecting the airport with the roadway and railway network of the city. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) would provide 80% of the project fund (₹1554 crore) while the rest would be sought through commercial borrowings. The AAI had already spent ₹32 crore for consultancy and other preparatory work for the project in the fiscal year.[44] The presence of a 119-year-old mosque that lies 30 metres from the secondary runway's northern end meant the runway would be expanded from the southern end. The proposed taxiway would join the northern ends of both the runways.[45]

In February 2014, the Kolkata Airport had sent a proposal to upgrade its Instrument Landing System (ILS) facilities in the runway to the higher authorities. The approval and project sanction, worth ₹120 crore (equivalent to ₹192 crore or US$20 million in 2023), was received in August that year. The project was expected to be executed between February–March and December 2015. As part of the upgradation, the primary runway's southern stretch (01R), then equipped with a CAT II ILS, would be upgraded to CAT III-B. This would reduce the chances of ceasing flight operations during foggy winter and harsh weather conditions when there is a drop in visibility. Flight operations were affected 12 times or 50 hours, which delayed over 500 flights, during the winter of 2013–14. The CAT III-B lights, which will be guiding the aircraft on the taxiway till the parking bays, will be installed at 24 of the 54 bays.[46] Further, the pock-marked primary runway would be re-carpeted while the secondary runway would also be upgraded to CAT II.[47] The CAT III-B operations in the airport only began on 4 January 2018. Meanwhile, 19L was already equipped with CAT II.[48]

Scandinavian Airlines is one of the many European airlines that used to operate to Kolkata. This is their inaugural flight to Kolkata.

The modernisation plan included some improvements of the airport's existing terminals, including the addition of extra ticketing counters, check-in kiosks, and cafes to the domestic terminal in 2009. However, the need to replace the airport's terminals entirely led to plans for a new integrated terminal, known as T2 to differentiate it from the older domestic block, to serve both international and domestic destinations. A Thai-based company, the Italian-Thai Development (ITD) Corporation (ITD-ITDCem JV, a consortium of ITD and ITD Cementation) and the 125-year-old iconic Project Management Consultant–Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB) was hired with Delhi-based designer Sikka Associates Architects to construct the building. Construction commenced in November 2008, and T2 was inaugurated on 20 January 2013 after overshooting the previous deadlines of July 2011 and August 2012.[49][50] The former airport hotel 'Ashok' was demolished to give way for two new five-star luxury hotels and a shopping mall in its place.[40][51]

Commercial operations were intended to start on 23 January 2013, the 116th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.[52] However, the shift to the new terminal was only completed on 16 March 2013.[53] Airports Council International named it the best improved airport in the Asia-Pacific region in 2014 and 2015.[54][55][56][57]

On 27 November 2025, the CAT III-B ILS for the 19L approach of the primary runway was activated for the first time. This was an upgrade from the CAT II ILS for the side, though the 01R approach was already equipped with CAT III-B earlier.[58][59]

Expansion

The integrated terminal T2 was commissioned in 2013 with an annual capacity of 20 million passengers. The terminal served 9 million passengers in the first year. However, by 2016, the amount quickly rose to 16 million. At this rate, the terminal would be saturated by 2018. This necessitated the airport authority to plan another phase of expansions. In June 2017, the then director of Kolkata airport, Atul Dixit, unveiled the plans of the next phase of expansion to enhance the airport's capacity to 40 million passengers per annum.[88] The first nod for a third terminal was received from the aviation ministry by then. The old air traffic control complex and both of the old terminals, located in the North of the T2, would be demolished to establish the third terminal.[88] In September, a US aviation planning and development firm based in Cincinnati, Landrum & Brown (L&B), was appointed to formulate a master plan to enhance the capacity and efficiency of the airport.[89]

The plan was reportedly sanctioned in February 2020 and first phase expansion was expected to be completed within 30 months.[90]

Initially, the existing terminal will undergo an interim expansion of ₹130 crore (US$14 million) that will see the terminal handle an additional 2 million passengers annually, bringing the total handling capacity of the existing terminal to 28 million passengers annually.[62] Then, a new ₹4,500 crore (US$470 million)[62] expansion plan will be undertaken in two phases over a span of six years.[72]

Upon completion of the project, the new terminal will serve both domestic and international flights with annual capacity of 11 million passengers.[72] This will bring the airport's capacity to 40 million.[88] Further, the existing integrated terminal, which will exclusively handle domestic flights will have a revised capacity of 34 million passengers,[91] taking the airport's overall capacity to 45 million (36 million domestic passengers and 9 million international passengers)[91] by 2032–33.[67] This will mark a nine-fold increase in the airport's capacity within two decades. The old terminals had a combined 5 million passengers per annum capacity until March 2013.[67]

Interim expansions

An interim expansion phase, also referred to as modular expansion phase,[72][63] will be implemented to meet the airport's short-term passenger growth demands. In this phase, the old terminal and the T2 integrated terminal will be connected with three aerobridges and walkalators as well as walk-in doors at ground level. The former will be used for boarding and de-boarding passengers from aircraft. Passengers arriving in the boarding building would take the connecting bridge to the terminal T2 and then leave the airport. This is meant to decongest the airport in peak hours and immediately enhance passenger capacity by a million.[88]

Under the modular expansion, the security hold area (SHA), the lounge where passengers wait after the security checks until the aircraft boarding begins, will be expanded for the integrated terminal T2. The SHA could be extended to the left of T2 in place of the old domestic terminal. Ten aerobridges are planned to be added to the terminal. Of the 18 existing aerobridges, 14 serve domestic flights while 4 serve international ones. Each bridge is capable of serving 10 flights per day.[67][63]

The expansion was underway as of April 2025, and was slated for completion by December. The project is expected to add over 6,600 m2 (71,000 sq ft) of space to the terminal including — 5,590 m2 (60,200 sq ft) and 1,000 m2 (10,800 sq ft) space — in the international and domestic wings, respectively. The expansion project would introduce these changes : –[91][92]

  • Domestic departure wing
    • 1,000 m2 (10,800 sq ft) for the Security Hold Area (SHA),
  • International departure wing
    • shifting the Immigration, Customs and Pre-Embarkation Security Check (PESC) facilities to a new 2,990 m2 (32,200 sq ft) space,
    • one-third or around 930 m2 (10,000 sq ft) area in the vacated area would be used for passenger amenities like Food & Beverage (F&B) and retail outlets as well as offices, and
    • a 2,600 m2 (28,000 sq ft) expansion for the SHA.

These expansions will enhance the airport's capacity to 28 million passengers per annum. A budget of ₹130 crore (US$14 million) has been earmarked for this phase. This will provide an additional time of four to five years, until 2030–31, to the airport authority for a long-term solution to accommodate the passenger growth, including the construction of a new terminal.[62]

By June 2026, the 966 m2 (10,400 sq ft) section was commissioned in the completing the expansion of the domestic wing. Meanwhile, the 2,990 m2 (32,200 sq ft) section for the Immigration, Customs and PESC facilities in the international departure sections was completed and would be operationalised soon.[93][94]

Phase 1

Under the first phase of expansion, the old domestic terminal, which was operation between 1995 and 2013 and has a built-up area of 22,000 m2 (240,000 sq ft),[91] will be demolished and a new terminal, spread over an area of 120,000 m2 (1,300,000 sq ft), will be constructed. This will increase the airport's capacity by 40% to 33 million passengers. As of 2019, the design of the new terminal was to be finalised by early 2020.[67]

As of December 2024, the demolition would begin in August 2025[72] and would take a year. Simultaneously, a tender will be floated for the construction of the new terminal which is expected to commence in early 2026. The overall terminal project, worth ₹4,500 crore (US$470 million), will be completed in two phases. The new terminal would be designed in order to efficiently utilise its relatively shorter frontage but service more aircraft at a time than the existing linear integrated terminal.[62]

The new building will be U-shaped and have three sections — a rectangular section and two arm-like concourses. The rectangular section, located at the parking lot of old terminal, will host the check-in counters, security check portals and baggage handling facilities. Meanwhile, the two concourses, at the northern and southern ends of the rectangular sections and extending eastwards, will host the operational area like boarding gates and aerobridges. The rectangular section and southern arm will be built as part of the phase 1, which has been sanctioned by the AAI.[72]

As of July 2025, the demolition of the old domestic terminal is scheduled to be completed by the year-end or early 2026. The entire terminal that will be completed under this phase will exclusively serve international flights and will have an annual capacity of 9 million passengers.[91] As of June 2026, the demolition is scheduled following the end of Hajj service on 19 June.[93]

Phase 2

By the time the first phase construction of the new terminal will be completed, the new Air Traffic Navigation Complex will be fully operational and the old tower building and former international terminal will be demolished.[62] Following this, the second phase construction will commence. This includes the northern concourse, located at on the existing Air Traffic Services (ATS) building.[72] Ultimately the new terminal will also require 21 parking bays connected with aerobridges.[63] The construction is aimed to be completed in 2029–30. The terminal will handle both domestic and international traffic while the T2 will be dedicated to domestic traffic. In fact, after removing the immigration, customs, and other related operations, the capacity of T2 will also be increased by 0.6 million passengers.[62]

Other developments

In 2019, the airport had 65 active parking bays. The parking bays remained fully occupied at night except for three parking bays that are required to be reserved for diverted flights. This necessitated to expand parking facilities with the growing demands of the Indian airlines. The AAI planned to develop over 380 parking bays in 23 airports. Airports in Kolkata and Ahmedabad, followed by Lucknow, would take the lead in this initiative.[95]

Amid this development, the AAI had earmarked ₹200 crore (US$28.4 million) to take the parking bays quantity to 105 by the end of 2024. An additional ₹150 crore (US$21.3 million) was earmarked extend the taxiway F of the airport. An amount of ₹250 crore (US$35.5 million) had been invested to extend the taxiway and develop 20 parking bays by 2021. Work for the first set of 10 bays had begun following which the old airport fire station would be demolished for the next 10 bays. After the completion of these 20 bays, another contract, worth ₹100 crore (US$14.2 million), for the rest of 20 bays will be awarded.[95]

However, as of 2025, the airport operates 73 parking bays. However, two additional bays will be made operational by the year-end and will be followed by activation of 10 bays and 19 bays in 2030 and 2032, respectively. In 2033, an additional 28 bays will be commissioned and will bring to the total number of parking bays to 132. This will ensure the parallel increase of terminal and airside infrastructure.[63] Parking bays will also be developed on the eastern flank of the airport.[63][95]

The cargo terminal of the airport, currently located in the north western sector of the airport, will be moved to the west of the VIP Road. When relocated, the space occupied by the current cargo terminal will give way for the development of more parking bays as well as passenger terminal expansion.[63]

Ground transport

The West Bengal Transport Corporation operates air-conditioned buses from the Airport Bus Terminus

The airport has a well-established facility of prepaid taxis and air-conditioned buses connecting it to the city centre. Ride-hailing services, including Uber and Ola operate here regularly. As part of the larger modernisation programme, a flyover at Nagerbazar and an entry ramp on VIP Road have also been constructed. A 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) flyover from Kestopur to Raghunathpur (near Tegharia) was built to speed up airport-bound traffic. These reduced journey times to the airport.[173][174] Parking facilities at the new terminal include two underground parking levels accommodating 3000 cars, as well as an outdoor car parking that can handle an additional 2000 cars.[175][176][177]

WBTC Airport Bus Terminus

West Bengal Transport Corporation (WBTC) operates air-conditioned buses to major parts of Kolkata from 07:00 to 23:00 Hrs throughout the week.[178]

Metro

Jai Hind (Airport) Metro Station

The airport is connected at Jai Hind metro station, which opened on 22 August 2025 with one Kolkata Metro line from Noapara (Yellow Line).[186] It is the largest underground metro station in India and the station will eventually also serve another line from New Garia (Orange Line). Both lines will converge at Jai Hind, with Orange line terminating at this station and Yellow Line moving towards Barasat metro station.[citation needed]

Rail

Biman Bandar railway station remants

The airport was connected to the Kolkata Suburban Railway system's circular line branch. The 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long elevated track connected the airport Biman Bandar railway station with Dum Dum Cantonment railway station, passing Jessore Road. Electric multiple unit rolling stocks served the line. Due to poor patronage and plans to replace it with yellow Line metro service, the railway line was closed in September 2016 to facilitate construction of the new lines.[187][188] The remaining infrastructure was dismantled in early 2020 to make space for road upgrades.[189] As of 2024, the iconic station building still exists as Kolkata metro Railways headquarters.[citation needed]

Presently, the nearest railway stations are Dum Dum Cantonment railway station and Durganagar railway station.[citation needed]

Awards

In 2014 and 2015, the airport won the title of Best Improved Airport in the Asia-Pacific region awarded by the Airport Council International. The airport was awarded the Best Airport by Hygiene Measures in the Asia-Pacific in 2020 by Airports Council International.[190]

Accidents and incidents

  • On 2 May 1953, BOAC Flight 783 de Havilland Comet bound for Delhi crashed after takeoff from Calcutta Airport with the loss of 43 lives. Parts of the aircraft were found spread over an area of 8 km2, near Jugalgari, a village some 25 miles north-west of Calcutta, suggesting disintegration before impact with the ground.[191]
  • On 12 June 1968, a Pan-Am Flight (N798PA, named Clipper Caribbean) Boeing 707-321C struck a tree 1128 m short of the runway during a night-time visual approach in rain. The aircraft subsequently crashed and caught fire. The fuselage remained largely intact, although the aircraft's landing gear broke off. Out of the 10 crew and 53 passengers aboard, one crew member and five passengers suffered fatal injuries due to the fire.[192][193]
