Getting There By Air

Kolkata (Calcutta)

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (Dum Dum airport)
Tel: (033) 2511 8787.
Website: www.calcuttaairport.com

Dum Dum airport is about 18km (11 miles) northeast of the city. Snack bars, tourist information and currency exchange booths can be found in the terminals.

Kolkata is a major hub for domestic and international flights, and a good place to buy reasonably priced onward flights to other parts of Asia. It is served by a growing number of international air carriers. Its domestic airport connects Kolkata to all major Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Bengaluru (Bangalore).

Taxi is the most convenient mode of transport from the airport, with tickets available from the pre-paid taxi booth in the arrivals hall. Alternatively, you could catch a taxi to the Dum Dum metro (train) station, located around 5km (3 miles) from the airport. Traffic jams mean you should allow two hours to get to the airport during the day; one hour at night.
