Flight of fancy? Kol, a global aviation hub?

Mamata Banerjee's call to restart direct Kolkata-London flights holds promise, but a more concerted effort is needed.

Currently serving major hubs like Dubai and Singapore, enhancing Kolkata's capacity is crucial, especially if ties with China improve, ramping up two-way traffic.
