Previously it was known as the Dum Dum Airfield. Doesn’t the word itself remind you of a popular dish we all love? Well of course it does! Nevertheless, with a heavy heart the name of a prominent freedom fighter changed the way we knew it earlier. You must be wondering who. It is no one else but Dr. Bose. That is what Indians tend to do, right? Show respect to those who deserve the same, for all the hardship and sacrifice they had to go through, only after they have bid farewell to the world as we know it.
However, it boasts of being one of the biggest and perhaps, the fifth busiest airfield in our country. Connectivity is possibly one of the most efficient you can hope to find. Kolkata airport is situated just around 17 kilometers from the main city and connects it to major international and domestic destinations.
