The Airport Authority of India (AAI) is developing a New Civil Enclave at Bagdogra Airport, Darjeeling, West Bengal.
Overview of the Project:
Bagdogra Airport in Darjeeling, West Bengal, is about to undergo significant expansion as the Airports Authority of India (AAI) prepares to commence the project. As a result of this expansion, the airport’s current capacity of 0.75 MPPA (Million Passengers Per Annum), will be increased to 10 MPPA.
