Kolkata is the capital of West Bengal and is situated relatively close to India’s border with Bangladesh. The city’s airport was the fifth busiest in India in terms of passenger numbers during FY17/18, behind Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai, but ahead of Hyderabad. However, it was the fourth largest for domestic traffic, flying more internal travellers than Chennai. We take a look at Kolkata’s traffic over the past 10 years, plus its leading airlines, destinations and trends for a typical week in S18 (in this case the week commencing 11 September). These results are compared to the equivalent period last summer.
Traffic doubles in space of seven years
Kolkata welcomed 6.99 million passengers in FY08/09. The past 10 years have witnessed traffic grow by 185%, with 19.89 million travellers passing through the facility in FY17/18. The airport has doubled its passenger numbers since FY10/11, although it hasn’t all been plain sailing. Over the past 10 years there have been two year-on-year declines in traffic. These took place in FY12/13 and FY13/14, which saw passenger numbers drop by a marginal 2.0% between FY11/12 and FY13/14. Since then, growth has been accelerating, with traffic up by 97% between FY13/14 and FY17/18. Over the past two financial years the airport’s average growth rate is 25%. If this continues, Kolkata could expect to handle up to 24.87 million passengers during FY18/19.
