The West Bengal government has announced plans to develop a second greenfield airport near Kalyani as part of its long-term infrastructure expansion strategy. The proposed airport is intended to ease congestion at Kolkata’s existing airport while improving regional connectivity and supporting the growing demand for air travel in the state.
The project forms a key component of the state’s broader development agenda outlined in the budget and is expected to stimulate economic growth, attract investment, and create employment opportunities. Enhanced aviation infrastructure could also strengthen trade, tourism, and industrial development across the region.
