Kalyani greenfield airport plan raises runway conflict with Kolkata airport
Based on · First reported · Updated
- The state announced a greenfield Kalyani airport in the 2026 budget to relieve capacity constraints at Kolkata's NSCBI Airport, locating it about 35 km from the existing airport on a 2,000‑acre site.
- A take‑off from Kalyani would bring an aircraft within 1,000 ft of a flight descending to land at Kolkata, with the latter descending at roughly 1,500‑2,000 ft per minute while the former climbs at about 1,000 ft per minute, creating a runway alignment conflict.
