Decongest bid at airport
OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
Air India’s ATR operations at the Calcutta airport will shift from the domestic to the international wing from July 25 in a bid to provide more space to domestic passengers.

AI officials said the airline operates six ATR aircraft every day on an average, all flying to various destinations in the Northeast.

“Other domestic flights of Air India will operate from the domestic terminal as usual,” said a statement issued by the airline.

“We have requested Jet Airways and Kingfisher to shift their ATR operations to this terminal, too. That will ease congestion at the domestic terminal further,” said Calcutta airport director B.P. Sharma.

Makes sense since the ATRs are parked in front of the International Terminal and normally would involve 10 minutes of driving around to reach them.
