The new International Airport for Kolkata will become a focal point for the citys future business growth and urban development. Woodhead International was the only Australian company invited to enter a global design competition for the new Kolkata (Calcutta) International Airport in India.

The new terminal has been designed with a north-south modular truss system to enable segmental expansion.

In the first phase of development, it would be most economical to build the terminal up to the major vertical circulation point in the centre of the building. This would allow the terminal to function as a departures only facility whilst the existing terminal would accommodate arrivals.

The second phase of development would see the completion of the terminal and demolition of the existing facility.

The design allows for internal expansion by providing capacity for future expansion of baggage make-up carousels, the development of airside retail and the extension of departures and arrivals concourses to allow for additional gates.
