Operating hoursH24 for flight operations, ATC, customs, immigration, fuelling and security; the airport operator's own administrative hours are Mon-Fri 0400-1230 UTC (0930-1800 IST), closed Sat/Sun/holidays, per AIP India. Winter fog (Dec-Jan) can bring low-visibility restrictions in the early-morning hours; Runway 01R/19L is CAT IIIB/CAT II-equipped for such conditions, giving dual-direction low-vis capability.
TerminalsSingle integrated Terminal 2 (opened 20 Jan 2013, ~233,000 sqm), with 128 check-in counters, 78 immigration counters, 12 customs counters and 18 aerobridges; original design capacity ~20M passengers/year, with some sources citing up to 25M after later capacity enhancements. The older separate domestic and international terminal buildings were retired when T2 opened.
Runways (2)
  • 01R/19L · 3,633 m / 11,919 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS ILS CAT IIIB (Rwy 01R); ILS CAT II (Rwy 19L)
  • 01L/19R · 3,271 m / 10,732 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS ILS CAT I (Rwy 19R); non-precision SALS+PAPI approach, no glideslope (Rwy 01L)
Eastern and Northeastern India's principal international gateway, consistently ranking among India's five to six busiest airports by passenger volume (21.1M in FY2024-25); operating base for Air India Express, IndiGo and Alliance Air, and a major cargo hub for Blue Dart Aviation. Runway 01R/19L's CAT IIIB/CAT II ILS coverage on both ends is notable for reliability during the Dec-Jan fog season that regularly disrupts eastern and northern India.

self-handled, Blue Dart Aviation; confirmed to maintain a real local office/station at NSC Bose Airport, Kolkata (bluedart.com/aviation-offices lists "KOLKATA Old CPWD Barracks, NSC Bose Airport, Kolkata - 700 052" with the phone shown), and has served Kolkata as one of its scheduled freighter destinations since 1996. Note: CCU's Wikipedia infobox lists Blue Dart Aviation under "Hubs," but Blue Dart's own site and Wikipedia page name Chennai as its main base, so "hub" here is better read as a served/on-line station rather than a primary base.
