Kolkata Metro’s Airport Link Nears Completion

A preparatory run on the Noapara-Jai Hind stretch of Kolkata Metro’s Yellow Line was successfully completed on Saturday. This 6.2-kilometer stretch, which includes four stations—Noapara, Dum Dum Cantonment, Jessore Road, and Jai Hind Airport—will connect the metro network to the city’s international airport.

Scheduled for a public opening by mid-March, this will be Kolkata Metro’s fifth route and phase 1 of the 16-km Noapara-Barasat corridor. The preparatory run was held ahead of an inspection set for Monday.

This new metro stretch will allow passengers to travel directly from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport to various parts of the city, saving time and money while ensuring a comfortable journey. Jai Hind Airport station will act as the city’s primary entry point for air travelers.
