Aviation jobs at Kolkata airport.
Kolkata is eastern India's aviation anchor and, like Chennai, an airport the Airports Authority of India still operates itself — so operator, ATC and airside establishment jobs here are AAI posts. IndiGo runs a major base at CCU serving the eastern and northeastern network, AIESL keeps a maintenance base station on the field, and AIASL ground handling, cargo terminals and CISF round out the hiring landscape.

IndiGo — CCU is one of its major bases and the springboard for its dense eastern and northeastern network, so pilots and cabin crew are regularly based here. Air India, Air India Express and SpiceJet also operate and station staff at the airport. Apply centrally to the airline; base assignment follows.
Because AAI operates Kolkata itself, the airport's management, terminal and airside operations, fire services, ATC and CNS/ATM roles are all AAI positions. Recruitment is national — Junior Executive and Junior Assistant exams — and postings are allotted across AAI's network, with Kolkata being one of its largest stations.
Yes. AIESL counts Kolkata among its base maintenance stations with hangar facilities, in addition to the line maintenance teams every based carrier keeps at CCU. For heavier private-sector MRO work, engineers typically look to Hyderabad, Mumbai, Hosur or Nagpur.
AI Airport Services (AIASL) handles Air India group and third-party flights at Kolkata, and airlines like IndiGo hire their own airport operations staff. Roles span ramp, passenger services, load and trim, and terminal operations; a clean background check for the airport entry pass is a universal requirement.
