User Jasepl stated that Gulf Air will end its flight to Kolkata on 29th March, what is the reference for this info? Also, Kingfisher is slated to start flights to Dhaka and Chittagong (http://www.webnewswire.com/node/447599). Air India will also start Kolkata-London service end of March.
You may have noticed that I have cleaned up the 'airlines/destinations' section by putting it into a tabular form. However, some things have come to my concern:
Lets work together to make this page much better!

Can you add SilkAir as new airlines to start services to Singapore from July 2011. http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110608/jsp/calcutta/story_14085051.jsp#4 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Psmukherjee (talk • contribs) 23:08, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
User:Jasepl said that in this edit it was discussed on this page but I see nothing here. First, "The year 2008, however, has been a different story, with international carriers systematically dropping Kolkata from their long haul networks, as a result of steadily declining yield." is unsourced, either provide a source or remove it. Second, section headers are "Airlines and destinations" and do not use a capital D. Look at other articles and you will see what I mean. Third, there is a big difference between Emirates Airline and Emirates, why would you want to send the reader to the second? CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 16:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Because of recent edit-warring from a variety of anonymous IPs, I have semi-protected this article for two weeks. This means that anons and new accounts cannot edit the page, but established editors with logged in accounts, can still make changes. Anons are also still able (and encouraged) to engage in discussion here on the talkpage. Hopefully this semi-protection will help stabilize things, though if there are any other disputes, please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Dispute resolution, and try to work things out at the talkpage. Good luck, --Elonka 23:41, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Stop adding JFK as a destination for Air India. I have removed it once again. The flight operates "via Delhi" which is an Air India hub and the source states that passengers will have to change planes at Delhi. This violates the WP:AIRPORTS guidelines bullet #5 completely. Thanks!! Cashier freak (talk)
Why are IPs making edits to a semi-protected page? I thought that newly registered or unregistered account cannot make edits to this page. Can someone explain? Cashier freak (talk) 16:19, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
The banner at the top of the page is wrong, the protection expired, it was for only two weeks. If this keeps going on for another day or two we should ask to have the page protected again....maybe this time for a few months.. Spikydan1 (talk) 16:39, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Update: IPs are continuing to add JFK. I have requested full protection on this article. Cashier freak (talk) 06:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Now that the page is no longer protected, the IP editor is back to adding false information in the article. Can we lock it again? Jasepl (talk) 16:57, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Done. Page has been protected for 1 day. Cashier freak (talk) 19:00, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
May one ask why the interesting historical section - explaining how the airport was pivotal in international air history - vanished? Also, is Kolkata no longer considered, within India, one of its great cities? That seems to be reflected in the sudden, very recent resurgence & withdrawal of international air services. The enlightenment would be most welcome. User:NYCfellow
Thanks to everyone who is working to make this article accurate and free from those horrible IP edits. Just three things I was wondering:

According to [3], AI will recommence Kolkata - London flights after BA leaves. However, just like the JFK flight it will require a change in aircraft in Delhi so is not a direct flight. Beware of people who may try to add this flight in, along with the JFK one. Thanks, Jer.dv (talk) 08:53, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
See here: http://www.jetairways.com/Cultures/en-US/India/Products+and+Services/Jet%20Airways%20Konnect
These are not new flights. Existing 'mainline' flights from Calcutta to Bangalore, Jorhat, Gauhati and Agartala are going to be operated by reconfigured aircraft, etc. It’s just a different class of service being offered by an existing airline; no new airline is being created, no new flights, routes or frequencies. Quite on the lines of ‘Dedicate’ by Air France.
Deccan / Red’s recent integration into ‘mainline’ Kingfisher is a good example for comparison, where the DN code disappeared, the Air Deccan legal entity is gone and Red is now just a different class of service. And an effort is underway to merge all articles and destination lists for Red into the Kingfisher article.

AIR INDIA operates flights from Kolkata to LONDON (AI 111, AI 112) and NEW YORK (AI 101, AI 102) via New Delhi. These are very important long haul flights that connect these important destinations. Although not non-stop, but these are direct flights with little operational stop at Indira Ghandhi Intl. Airport, New Delhi. Sm2k9.in (talk) 22:13, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
It is ridiculous that people are so ignorant as to not know that AI does not fly from CCU. Offcourse it does. Also, AI will be starting new flights from KOLKATA to Washington from 1 DEC 2009. I would request the admins and challange the crap that is put in here by some ignorant guy who does not know any whereabouts of it. I would like to support my statements above by the following weblinks:
I hope you guys can see it and update the page accordingly as you have done it for Kolkata Kulalumpur flight of Air Asia beginning 7th november 2009. Hope you would try and see my point and update the details in this webpage accordingly..!! Sm2k9.in (talk) 22:27, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
The AI111 and AI101 involve NO CHANGE OF AIRCRAFT, with stops in New Delhi, some people here are being ignorant and giving false info. These are direct flights from Kolkata and should be listed as AI destinations. Plz lookup the Air India page and enlighten yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.30.175.2 (talk) 21:33, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Just to sight all of you some more articles regarding the launch of the new KOLKATA WASHINTON direct flight:
YES, it is a direct flight although it would make stops in Delhi and NEW YORK, there would be NO CHANGE OF AIRCRAFT taking place in between. AI will operate its new long range boeings, B777-LR from Kolkata w.e.f. 1st DEC 2009. The details of the schedule can be found in the following links.
Can an ADMIN plz update this peice of information now..?? Plz see the support links below for verification:
Hope you guys are now convinced that AI would fly DIRECT FLIGHTS from Kolkata w.e.f. 01.12.2009. Hope this helps..!! Sm2k9.in (talk) 22:59, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

It seems the usual AI to JFK and LHR have popped up again, along with other questionable routes (spicejet to DAC?) Should protection be re-implemented?? --Jer.dv (talk) 14:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
I have protected this page from editing by new users, to stop the ongoing slow edit-warring. Note though that I haven't really looked into who is "right" in this edit-revert cycle, and the protection should not be taken as an endorsement of the current version of the page. I'll encourage all involved editors to discuss the issues on this talk page, hear one another out, and try to reach a consensus, which can then be implemented. If you need any help/advice feel free to contact me on my talk page. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 05:02, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

![]() | Lufthansa is NOT stopping CCU flights on 26 March. |
I haven't edited the article, due to the note written. I know that this route has been argued about on wikipedia recently, and that proof from the Air India website will probably not be accepted. However, I do have proof from the website of Heathrow Airport. According to Heathrow airport it is a continuous flight number that does not require a change of aircraft, however there is one stop in New Delhi. I'm sure that BAA Heathrow Airport will have the correct information. [8] [9] This information is also supported by Expedia India, if you were to search a flight from Kolkata to London, it shows options to connect in Delhi and Mumbai for Air India flights, but also a 1 stop (not connection, just 1 stop) flight AI111 Kolkata to London. It is a continuous flight number, and therefore should be added to the page. I am not sure of the JFK route that has also been put as not to be added. If anyone wants any more evidence other than Heathrow Airport, Air India or Expedia, I am willing to find some. --MJLRGS (talk) 14:43, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
However, BAA Heathrow website classifies this route as not a non-stop flight, but still a direct flight, as does Expedia, And a direct flight is one that doesn't require a change of aircraft, which would be listed. However, the Air India website is rather confusing however, and although it markets it as a direct route, it states JET as Aircraft for A112 London to Kolkata, but B777 on A112 London to New Delhi. It states A321 on the Indian flight from Delhi to Kolkata, but not the one marketed from London to Kolkata, and also one with a different time. The Indian Airlines website also claims that some flights are operated by their subsidary, but others by Air India itself, one of which is claimed by Expedia to be the flight originating from London. [10]. Most information shows a direct flight from London to Kolkata with but a stopover in New Delhi, however, a lot of it is confusing. --MJLRGS (talk) 15:38, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, I meant the subsidary, not their subsidary. Thank you f0r explaining about the JET, however, it still doesn't answer why it is specified as a direct route on the Heathrow website, or expedia. On Heathrow website, it only shows destinations that don't require any change of plane when you select direct only, yet Kolkata by AI112 still shows up as a destination, and if there was a change of plane then expedia would specify 'Connect in New Delhi Indira Gandhi' rather than '1 Stop', as do many other travel websites. --MJLRGS (talk) 16:27, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
The confusion is probably due to Air India doing as you say, as in many parts of the world it has to be the same aircraft to operate the same flight number, but it does happen otherwise in other parts of the world that may include India. I'm not completely sure. If there is confusion then the destinations list shouldn't be changed, as wikipedia may lack information, but should not be allowed to have false information. Unless of course, someone has who actually flown on the flight or an aviation official has something to say about it, but otherwise, the LHR route shouldn't be added as specified, and I won't. --MJLRGS (talk) 21:17, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
Are the Air India Express flights to Bangkok still in operation? They're not listed on their website any more. --Jer.dv (talk) 02:57, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

I, Avenue X at Cicero (talk · contribs) have recently moved this page to Dum Dum Airport, abiding by the policy on Wikipedia of using common names. As you can see from this Google search "Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport" generates 290,000 results; "dum dum airport" generates 1,420,000 results; "Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport" without Dum Dum generates 237,000 results; and "Dum Dum Airport" without "Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International" generates 673,000 results. And this ngram, clears further doubts, if any. Avenue X at Cicero (talk) 20:52, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
Though I strongly oppose this move, Abhishek's rationale is not really accurate. Allow me to modify his rationale a bit. WP:GOOGLE has to be applied very cautiously. NSCB was renamed not very long ago, and obviously historical sources will tend towards mentioning Dum Dum. Check out Google News (where Airport info is commonly available), and AAI sites. They are the best indicators, and not books or web articles, which contain info right from the 1950s and colonial times. Lynch7 16:33, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 05:27, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

As per media reports, all the airlines will move to the new integrated terminal by 15 March 2013. After that the old domestic and international terminal will not be in use, except for Hajj passengers. I propose that Modernisation and Airport structure should be merged appropriately to give correct information to the common people. May be we can keep a line or two about the earlier structure at max. Amartyabag TALK2ME 05:18, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Kindly have a look if this can be used in the infobox image till any suitable image is available. This seems like a image free from any copyright problem as the metadata is present. File:Kolkata Airport Skyview02.jpg or the cropped version File:Kolkata Airport new integrated terminal skyview.jpg. Amartyabag TALK2ME 17:05, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
Though this is just a suggestion, I also noticed the lack of pictures of the new airport terminal. All the pictures currently only show the old terminals or the tarmac near the old terminals. I believe it would be beneficial if someone could add more images to the page regarding the new terminal to update the article. The picture of the international terminal in the top of the page should also be removed as it makes the reader think that the two old terminals are still in operation. If needed, these pictures can be moved to the "History" section of the page. Geography101 TALK2ME 17:19, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
Once again, this is just a suggestion, but I though that maybe we should bring the picture gallery back. I was viewing the edit history of this page and I noticed that some excellent pictures of the Departures section of the new terminal had been posted by one of our seemingly new fellow users, Rajdeep86041. They were apparently later remove because there were too many. I noticed that they were all original works and properly copyrighted. I was thinking that maybe we could either incorporate them into different parts of the article or, put them in a new picture gallery, as thumbnails, to save space and keep everything organized. I would like to here your thoughts on the issue as we were previously discussing the need for pictures to update the article. Geography101 TALK2ME 21:41, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Off topic,momentarily, I also noticed that the current website link for the airport does not work properly. Though I have come across a few different websites for the airport, since AAI is the owner and operator of it, I believe this website: http://www.aai.aero/kolkata/index.jsp is the correct one. I'm just waiting for permission to add the link to the page.Geography101 (talk) 21:51, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
As the new terminal is divided into two parts, (Domestic - Gates 1 to 3) and (International - Gates 4 to 5), should this be noted and and used to organize information in the Airlines and Destinations table? Once again, this is just a suggestion and I would like to receive some feedback on this idea. Geography101 (talk) 17:22, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
Here is a model of my proposal. As you can see, there are a few areas were it would need tweaking, but this table displays the overall sense of what I am trying to say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geography101 (talk • contribs) 01:01, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

By gates I was referring to entry gates into the terminal. The Indonesian firm, as far as I know, has delivered 12 of the 18 aerobridges. However, as Jer.dv said, I noticed that there is little to no distinction in other one terminal airports and thus, I agree that this change is most probably unnecessary.

@Wonderbank: It's clear that while undoing my revert here, you have changed the reference and have now provided the schedule of the airline which can also be seen as per your edit here that you had added only the main page. So as per your revert you stated that the airline schedule was provided which is wrong. Please don't try to mask your mistakes in the reverts and claim that you provided the correct info.

Hello. I want to start a discussion on which image to be kept in the infobox. The previous photo was this one: File:NSCBI International airport.jpg. This shows the whole terminal building of the airport. User:Adityabill2001 has replaced it with other images File:Kolkata NSCBI Airport.jpg and File:Kolkata NSCBI Airport P2.jpg which shows the post-security area and boarding areas respectively. I moved the this to the Terminal section in the body. Later Adityabill added this the infobox, replacing this. I don't have any problem with any of the images and none of them are mine. I feel the previous image is most suitable for the infobox. ❯❯❯ S A H A 18:09, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
