No more flight delays this winter as Kolkata airport gets CAT III ready
The New Indian Express Vellore
|November 24, 2025
FLIGHT delays on foggy winter days will soon become a thing of the past at Kolkata's Netaji Subhash Chandra International Airport, as one of its runways is set to be CAT-III compliant from November 27.
This upgrade will ensure that flights can land and take off even during near-zero visibility conditions at the airport.
Airport director Vikram Singh told this newspaper, "We have installed a CAT-III facility on both sides of our primary runway. While the 01R end of the runway has been equipped for operations under very low visibility six years ago, the opposite end, 19L, has now been upgraded as well and will be declared CAT-III compliant from Thursday." The other runway is CAT-1 compliant.
