About Balurghat Airport
Balurghat Airport is a regional airport serving Balurghat, the district headquarters of Dakshin Dinajpur in West Bengal. Located in the Mahinagar area about 6 km from the town centre, it was originally developed as a small airfield for the region.
The airport was built in 1947 and once handled short regional flights, including Vayudoot services to Calcutta, before scheduled operations ceased. It has a single paved runway and a compact terminal building, and recent efforts have focused on upgrading the airfield for the return of small regional aircraft.
Road access connects the airport to Balurghat and nearby Gangarampur, with the closest major operational airport at Bagdogra serving the wider north Bengal region. Taxis, private transfers and rental vehicles can cover the short distance into Balurghat.
Although commercial flights are not currently operating on a regular basis, the airport remains a planned regional gateway for Dakshin Dinajpur, with basic terminal facilities and road links intended to support future air services.
