Kolkata is gearing up to welcome back British Airways and five other international airlines. While everyone is overjoyed at the news they must also concentrate on the issues that had sent the British Airways packing from Kolkata previously.

As clarified by the Kolkata Airport Advisory Committee Chairman, Sougata Roy, airlines from Dubai, Mauritius, Japan and three other countries have shown interest to test the waters of Kolkata aviation. The flipside of the good news is that with international airlines interested in Kolkata, the standard of the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport has to really go up. The reason why British Airways cannot sustain Kolkata is due to the low profitability, security issues and low passenger load in the past. Every one of the factor can be improved upon to keep the international airways happy as well as the passengers happy.

For that the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport needs to bring on their A game. As reported in samachar.com, Sougata Roy said that the modernisation of the airport is going strong and it would finish by March 2012. However, the airport would be fully operational only after June 2012. Thus, while it is good news for business in India but they must also be careful about the factors that always sends these airways back to their home.
