Kolkata-Durgapur-Delhi route, Zoom Air, a Delhi-based airlines, starts

Nazrul Islam Airport (Andal) will also act as the regional hub of the

Interestingly, GoAir and In diGo have proposed to operate flights from KNIA, but the proposals are yet to take final shape. Bhutan and Bangladesh Airlines are also interested as reported earlier.
