New Kolkata Airport Terminal is an Example of How the Public Sector Can Also Create a World Class Facility, Says President
Rashtrapati Bhavan : 20.01.2013

The President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee yesterday (January 20, 2013) inaugurated the new Integrated Passenger Terminal Building and unveiled the statue of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose at the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata.

Speaking on the occasion, the President said the new Kolkata Airport Terminal is an example of how the public sector in India can also create a world class facility. He said Kolkata is the gateway to the east. The airport can play an important role in India’s Look East policy, especially in view of the directional change in international trade from the west to the east.

The President said airports serve as gateways to the country. The first impression about a city and the state of its infrastructure comes from the facilities available at the Airport. It is, therefore, important that all stake holders concerned work together and present the best possible image of India.
