CCU and DEL Airport Terminals & Airline Updates
All domestic flights from Kolkata depart from a single integrated terminal. However, arrival terminals at Delhi Airport vary by airline and require careful checking.
Kolkata Departure (CCU)
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) uses Terminal 2 for all domestic and international flights. Whether you fly Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet, or Akasa Air, you will enter through this single integrated building.
Delhi Arrival (DEL)
Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) has three active terminals. Air India uses Terminal 3 as its main hub. However, IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Akasa Air dynamically operate across T1, T2, and T3 depending on slot allocations and specific flight numbers.
Following the Delhi Airport Terminal 1 roof collapse in June 2024, many flights temporarily shifted to T2 and T3. While T1 is active again, terminal assignments remain fluid.
