India’s first aerotropolis or airport city project at Andal in West Bengal will be operational in the last quarter of this year. Spread over nearly 1,820 acre, the airport city will be located close to Durgapur, nearly 160 km from Kolkata. While it will cover nearly one-third of the area or 650 acre, housing projects, hospitals, IT hubs and industrial zones will come up on the remaining 1,200 acre. The airport will have one runway and four bays for aircraft.
