Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Intl Airport, Kolkata

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, identified by the IATA code CCU, serves as the primary aviation gateway to Eastern India. Originally established as Dum Dum Airport, it was officially renamed in 1995 to honor the prominent Indian nationalist leader. The facility is among the oldest in the country, with commercial aviation activities beginning as early as 1924. According to recent data from the Airports Authority of India, it currently ranks as the sixth busiest airport in India by passenger traffic, facilitating travel for approximately 18 to 20 million passengers annually. Key milestones in its modern history include the 2013 inauguration of a state-of-the-art integrated terminal, which increased the airport's handling capacity to 25 million passengers per year, and the 2017 installation of a 15-megawatt solar power plant to enhance its sustainability profile. As the central hub for Kolkata, which functions as India’s cultural capital, a major river port, and an emerging IT and business center, the airport plays a critical role in connecting the city to the North Eastern states and international destinations across Southeast Asia. Its operations support Kolkata’s status as a vital gateway for heritage tourism, industrial commerce, and regional logistics.
