Indigo Landing at Durgapur (Kazi Nazrul Islam) Airport, WB.

Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport (IATA: RDP, ICAO: VEDG), commonly called Durgapur Airport, is the domestic airport serving Durgapur, Asansol and the industrial belt of Paschim Bardhaman in West Bengal. Durgapur itself is a planned industrial city on the Damodar River—often called the “Ruhr of India”—known for its steel, heavy engineering and manufacturing hubs (SAIL’s Durgapur Steel Plant) and as a regional transport node. The airport sits at Andal, about 15–17 km from Durgapur city centre, and was developed as part of a private-sector “aerotropolis” project. Its single asphalt runway is designated 16/34 (approximate magnetic headings 160°/340°) and is 2,800 metres (≈9,186 ft) long — adequate for narrow-body aircraft such as the A320/B737 family. The airfield elevation is roughly 300–302 feet (≈91–92 m) above mean sea level. The runway is equipped with a Category I ILS and the terminal (≈5,750 m²) was built for an initial capacity near 1 million passengers annually; apron parking and a helipad support regional operations. Operator/ownership is through Bengal Aerotropolis Projects Ltd (with AAI involvement for operations), and the airport handles scheduled IndiGo and other domestic flights connecting to major Indian metros.
