Travel Essentials
CCU: IST · DEL: IST
When it's 6:00 PM in Kolkata, it's 6:00 PM in New Delhi.
Airport Express Metro from T3 to New Delhi Railway Station (18–20 min, ₹60) runs 5am–11:30pm. T1 (domestic departures) has a free shuttle to T3 for the metro. Prepaid taxi booths in arrivals offer fixed fares; the New Delhi railway area is ₹400–600.Ola and Uber are reliable from DEL and often cheaper than prepaid taxis. Delhi traffic is severe; plan 60–90 minutes for surface transport during peak hours even though the airport is only 15 km from Connaught Place. NH-48 expressway provides the main access road.
Semi-arid climate with extreme seasonal variation. Summers (April–June) are extremely hot (38–46°C). Heat affects ground crew capacity but flights operate normally. Monsoon season (July–September) brings heavy rain and severe thunderstorms that frequently cause delays and diversions. Dust storms (andhi) precede monsoon onset in May–June and reduce visibility to near zero within minutes.
Dense fog is the most disruptive winter condition. December and January bring persistent cold fog (5–10°C with near-zero visibility) that can shut down operations for hours each morning. Delhi is one of the foggiest major airports in Asia during this period. Autumn (October–November) and spring (February–March) are the most flight-stable windows.
CCU–DEL Quick Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
Kolkata to Delhi: India's East-West Domestic Backbone
CCU-DEL connects Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata to Indira Gandhi International in Delhi, 1,826 km to the west. The route carries more than 20 daily departures across four carriers: IndiGo (around 11 daily), Air India (around 12 including Air India Express), SpiceJet, and Akasa Air. Flight time is 2 hours 25 minutes. IndiGo and Air India have competed aggressively on this corridor since Vistara merged into Air India in 2024, and fares fluctuate accordingly. Aircraft are almost exclusively A320-family narrowbodies, with the occasional A321 on high-demand dates.
Terminal Assignments and Seasonal Delays
In Kolkata, all carriers operate from the single terminal at CCU. In Delhi, IndiGo and SpiceJet use Terminal 1, while Air India and Air India Express use Terminal 3. Terminal 3 is the larger and more modern facility with international connections. The CCU-DEL route is one of the routes most affected by Delhi's winter fog season from December through February. Diversions to alternate airports occur several times per season, typically on early morning banks before the fog burns off. The government's UDAN regional connectivity scheme does not cover this trunk sector; fares are market-driven.
