The West Bengal Government has said that the State’s first private airport near Durgapur is expected to be operational by April 15.
The airport is being developed near Durgapur — approximately 200 km south of Kolkata — by Bengal Aerotropolis Pvt Ltd (BAPL), a venture involving four Indian companies and the Singapore-based Changi Airports International.
“The new airport is likely to be operational by April 15 of 2013,” Firhad Hakim, State Urban Development Minister, said on the sidelines of a seminar on urban infrastructure.
Apart from the Rs 600-crore domestic airport, BAPL is also developing an airport city (aerotropolis) on an 1,800-acre plot.
