Behala Airport
Airport of West Bengal, India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Behala Airport (ICAO: VEBA) is located at Behala in the city of Kolkata, India. It is located approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from the city centre.[1] It is more commonly called Behala Flying Training Institute or Behala Flying Club. The Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Airports Authority of India have plans to develop it into a full-fledged commercial airport by expanding the runway to 4,500 feet (1.4 km) to ease the pressure on the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport.[2][3][4][5]
