Kolkata Chandra Bose CCU Airport Overview

Kolkata Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport CCU serves the north-east State of West Bengal and the City of Kolkata (Calcutta), and is operated by Airports Authority of India.

The Airport is located in the municipality of Dum Dum, which is situated at the outskirts of, and 10 km from, the City center of Kolkata. It is also in close proximity with the border with Bangladesh and is a major center for flights to North-East India, to Bangladesh & Southest Asia.

With two long runways (upgraded & extended) and an estimated 10.4 million passengers in 2012, Kalkota Airport is a hub for a number of airlines, most importantly for Air India, and is served by domestic and international airlines (including United Airways), offering direct & connecting flights to all points of the globe.

On-Airport Hotels:  The former 'Ashok' hotel has been demolished, making way for two new 5-star hotels and a shopping mall. A budget hotel for transit passengers, with 30 rooms, is avalable inside the new integrated terminal complex.

Kolkata Airport Passenger Terminal:  The new six-level, L-shaped integrated passenger terminal - inaugurated in January 2013 - has replaced the former terminals (the intenational terminal of which may be used for hajj services, while the domestic terminal may be used for some regional airlines).  Furthermore, as of March 15, 2013, all operations from the City Airport have shifted over to the new integrated terminal. 
The new terminal, serving both international & domestic traffic, was built to handle up to 25 million passengers a year.  It offers 128 check-in counters with Common User Terminal Equipment technology, 78 immigration counters & 12 customs counters.  It has two basement parking levels. It also has 18 airbridges, 57 remote parking bays, 128 check-in counters and 27 conveyor belts. The terminal's two sub-levels are housing parking facilities.

Parking at Kolkota Airport is presently available at the two basement levels of the new terminal and across from the terminal - with 1,250 parking spaces in the two underground levels of the new terminal, and another 2,000 spaces in the parking lot.

To get from Kolkata Airport to your destination, you can rent a car, take a taxi, a bus or the train: 
The Airport is connected by its Biman Bandar station to the Kolkata Suburban Railway system. Opened in 2005, the 4-km rail track connects the airport station with Dumdum Catonment. However due to lack of patronage, plans are to replace it by an elevated metro. 
NEW: Air-conditioned bus services on Volvo buses from within the Howrah station premises, to/from the Airport make 7 to 8 daily  trips at preset fees.

Present and future Airport developments:  'In a few years', the Metro's new two lines are to reach the airport's underground station - one from Noapara and Barasat and one from New Garia.
