Kolkata-Bhubaneswar Airbridge

Event Details

Kolkata – Bhubaneswar Airbridge IVAO India Division invites all pilots and air traffic controllers to take part in the Kolkata – Bhubaneswar Airbridge, a regional fly-in connecting two of Eastern India's most vibrant cities. Departing from VECC (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata) — the historic gateway city on the banks of the Hooghly, home to the iconic Howrah Bridge and the grandeur of the Victoria Memorial — pilots will make their way to VEBS (Biju Patnaik International Airport, Bhubaneswar), the temple city renowned for its ancient architecture and rich cultural heritage. This short-haul regional route is perfect for pilots of all experience levels, offering a relaxed hop across Eastern India with scenic terrain and moderate traffic — ideal for those looking to build hours on domestic Indian sectors or simply enjoy a well-coordinated group flight. Air traffic controllers are encouraged to staff both departure and arrival airports to provide full ATC coverage throughout the event window, giving pilots an immersive and realistic flying experience from gate to gate.
