Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport, nestled in Andal, West Bengal, stands as a testament to the region's burgeoning air travel landscape. Its strategic location serves as a pivotal gateway to a vast hinterland, encompassing the bustling towns and cities of Asansol, Chittaranjan, Bardhaman, Bankura, Bishnupur, Purulia, Raniganj, Sainthia, Suri, Bolpur, Rampurhat in West Bengal, and extending its reach into Jharkhand with Dhanbad and Bokaro.
This airport holds a distinctive position as part of India's pioneering private sector Aerotropolis initiative, spearheaded by Bengal Aerotropolis Projects Limited (BAPL) in Durgapur. This visionary endeavor not only fosters air connectivity but also lays the foundation for comprehensive economic development in the surrounding regions.
