Flights to Kolkata
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Kolkata is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, whose 11,919-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport | CCU | 13 km (8 mi) | 11,919 ft | 16 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,919 ft, CCU can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 16 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
