The airport has been operating flights from the T3 terminal only since March 23, when flight operations in India were curtailed drastically due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Though domestic flight operations across the country began on May 25, it could not be restarted in Kolkata as the state machinery was involved in the relief and restoration work after the extremely severe Cyclone Amphan whiplashed many areas of the state.
The government on Wednesday said the domestic flight operations would begin in a "calibrated manner" from May 25. Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri took to Twitter to announce the news.
All flight operations at Kolkata Airport have been suspended till 5 AM on Thursday, in the wake of cyclone Amphan, which is likely to make landfall by noon today. According to the Airport Director, all special flights that were operational in view of the coronavirus outbreak have also been restricted till tomorrow morning.

Most parts of the valley received snowfall overnight. “The air traffic remained affected on Thursday as well as no flight operations took place in the morning,” an official of the airport here said.
No flight operations will take place for around an-hour-and-45-minutes at the Delhi International Airport on seven days -- January 18, 20-24 and 26 -- due to the Republic Day celebrations, said an official document on Sunday.
Due to poor visibility caused by fog, flight operations at the Srinagar airport remained suspended for the sixth consecutive day on Thursday.

Mumbai Rains | Trains and Flight status: Heavy rains continued to lash Mumbai on Wednesday, with severe waterlogging reported from many areas and authorities advising people to remain indoors. Several trains and flight services have been delayed.
All scheduled flights not already checked in were cancelled and protesters were also blocking the departure lines at immigration, so nobody was able to get through there -- something the protesters hadn't done previously, media reports said.
The closure of the main runway, 09/27, is expected to put passengers at inconvenience in view of the suspension of a good number of services by various airlines during the period.
