Bagdogra Airport is considered the nearest airport to Darjeeling Airport (at a distance of 90 km). The town of Darjeeling is now rated amongst those few towns in India, which have a deep cultural and historical heritage.

As a result, the number of tourists visiting this town has increased and those who want to visit it come by charter planes or trains.
