I had come across these guys sometime in 2011/12. They had said they would be ready latest by Dec'2013.
I am not sure about the current status but a new airport without much potential was always going to be a difficult proposition.
Somebody in my previous job asked me for this presentation and since I anyways had to dig it in, thought of sharing it here. _________________ www.networkthoughts.com |

If West Bengal were not a basket case, this might have some potential. However given that this is about 2.5 hours drive from CCU, not sure why someone would want an aerotropolis in Durgapur! _________________ We miss you Nalini! |

Their argument was the road is bad and takes 4-5 hours and people come to CCU to take flights . However the road can be resurfaced quickly ! _________________ www.networkthoughts.com |
