Landrum & Brown specialises in aviation planning and development. Dikshit said on an average, 450 flights take off or land daily, at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata.

Dikshit said the West Bengal government had made efforts to persuade a few European airlines, to start their operations from Kolkata. “There are route conferences happening around the world. We visit these conferences and try to sell out our airports. We have showcased Calcutta (Kolkata airport) in these route conferences. Till date, a few have shown interest but no one has come out with a concrete proposal,” Dikshit said.
