All flights from Kolkata's new terminal by March

Kolkata: Both the international and the domestic terminal that are currently in use at Kolkata airport will be shut once all flights operate from the new integrated terminal. While the international terminal will remain shut - except perhaps during Haj operations when special chartered flights take the faithful to Saudi Arabia - the domestic terminal will be reopened only if regional airlines decide to operate from Kolkata.
"All scheduled operators will use the new integrated terminal. The earlier proposal of continuing low-cost carrier (LCC) operations from the existing terminal has been shelved as the new terminal with an annual capacity of 20 million passengers needs to be utilized," said airport director B P Sharma.
