Question 1

Are domestic and international flights in different terminals at Kolkata?

Accepted Answer

They use separate domestic and international portions of Terminal T2, but T2 is one integrated passenger building. Treat it as a side-of-building decision, not a transfer to another passenger terminal.

Question 2

Is the metro to Kolkata airport actually open?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Official railway reporting confirms passenger service between Jai Hind Bimanbandar and Noapara, including a ministerial journey with other passengers in June 2026. A subway connects the airport metro station to NSCBI Airport.

Question 3

How does the prepaid taxi work at CCU?

Accepted Answer

The West Bengal Transport Department lists a prepaid-taxi booth at the airport. Bidhannagar Police says to pay in advance there; the destination fare is approved by the state Transport Department. No fare amount is quoted here because the official sources checked do not publish a current price table.

Question 4

Can I take a bus from Kolkata airport?

Accepted Answer

India’s official AIP lists buses from the aerodrome. Current routes, stops and timings could not be verified from two live official sources, so confirm those details inside T2 before planning the bus as a fixed connection.
