Can make second airport in Kolkata if there is land: Govt
Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju has said a second airport near Kolkata is possible if the West Bengal government obtains the required land. Stating that Kolkata needs an alternative airport, Raju added that land is a state subject. Kolkata presently has one airport, the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, which is expected to reach a saturation point soon.
