Historic general aviation airfield serving Kolkata's west suburbs.
Location
Kolkata, India
Behala Airport, identified by ICAO code VEBA, is a small general aviation airfield located in the Behala area of southwestern Kolkata, West Bengal, India. It is not a commercial passenger airport and does not hold an IATA code, reflecting its limited and specialized operational scope.
The airfield has historically been associated with flying clubs and light aircraft operations in the Kolkata region. It operates under the oversight of Indian aviation authorities but handles significantly lower traffic volumes compared to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, which serves as Kolkata's primary commercial hub.
Due to its small size and non-commercial nature, public information about Behala Airport's infrastructure and current operational status is limited. The airfield's relevance today is primarily tied to private, recreational, and training aviation activities.
