Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport, designated by IATA code RDP and ICAO code VEDG, is a civil airport located in Durgapur, a major industrial city in the Paschim Bardhaman district of West Bengal, India. The airport is named after the renowned Bengali poet and musician Kazi Nazrul Islam, the national poet of Bangladesh and a celebrated figure in Indian literature. The airport has historically served limited scheduled commercial traffic, with operations expanding in recent years as part of India's regional connectivity scheme UDAN, which aims to connect smaller cities to major hubs. It serves as an alternative air access point for the broader Durgapur-Asansol industrial belt, supplementing Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport for regional passengers. The airport is operated under the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and has seen efforts to upgrade infrastructure and attract more airline services to meet the growing demand from the industrial and residential population of the region.
