Bagdogra is the only major Airport for North Bengal and Sikkim. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) code for Bagdogra is IXB. This is primarily an Indian Air Force base where civilian flights are also allowed. The airport is located at a distance of 14 km from Siliguri, 125 km from Gangtok and 90 km from Darjeeling.

During the recent past, Air Force activity in this airport has been reduced substantially and another airport at Hasimara in North Bengal Dooars has been more widely used by the air force. But the access to the airport by the civilians is still limited. A long standing demand of the people of the region is to convert this airport into a civilian international airport and to move most of the air force activity to the Hasimara air base.

The strategic location of Bagdogra in the middle of three countries namely Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan makes it international status imperative. The issue is under consideration by the defense ministry.

Following is the details of flight schedule at Bagdogra airport.
