Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport was founded in the early 1900s as the Calcutta Aerodrome.[4] The airport traditionally served as a strategic stopover on the air route from North America and Europe to Indochina and Australia.[5] Dakota 3 was the first aircraft to land in the airport.[6] In 1924, KLM began scheduled stops at Calcutta, as part of their Amsterdam to Batavia (Jakarta) route.[7][8][9] The same year, a Royal Air Force aircraft landed in Calcutta as part of the first round-the-world expedition by any air force.[10][11][12]nThe airport began as an open ground next to the Royal Artillery Armoury in Dum Dum.[12][13][14][15] Sir Stanley Jackson, Governor of Bengal, opened the Bengal Flying Club at Dum Dum/Calcutta aerodrome in February 1929.[16] In 1930, the airfield was made fit for use throughout the year,[17] and other airlines began to utilise the airport. Air Orient began scheduled stops as part of a Paris to Saigon route[18] and Imperial Airways began flights from London to Australia via Calcutta in 1933, thus drew many airlines to Calcutta airport.[9][19][20] Many pioneering flights passed through the airport, including Amelia Earhart's .

From this bus stop you can get buses towards Bally, Durga Nagar, Dunlop etc. There is no shed available for the passengers and passengers have to wait under a tree for buses.
