Bagdogra Airport sits about 16 km from Siliguri in West Bengal, near the foothills of the Himalayas. It's a fast-growing regional airport, handling around 3.66 million passengers in the 2025–26 fiscal year, up 13.6% year on year. Bagdogra is officially designated an international airport, but scheduled international service is currently limited — most international travellers connect via Kolkata or Delhi instead.
Domestically, Bagdogra has direct flights to 12 Indian cities including New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Ahmedabad. On the international side, Drukair operates flights connecting Bagdogra to Paro in Bhutan, and there are periodic connections to Bangkok. Fares and schedules change often, so compare carriers and verify details before you travel.
Bagdogra is served by IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet, Akasa Air and Air India Express on the domestic network, with Drukair operating the Bhutan connection.
Bagdogra has a single terminal handling both arrivals and departures, keeping the layout straightforward to navigate.
Taxis and auto-rickshaws are readily available outside the terminal for the short trip into Siliguri, and ride-sharing services also operate in the area. There's no direct train service to the terminal itself, so arrange a taxi or pre-booked transfer, especially if you're heading onward into the hills toward Darjeeling or Sikkim.
The airport offers clean restrooms, waiting lounges, a handful of shops, food stalls and cafes, plus free Wi-Fi — modest but functional facilities in line with its regional scale.
