The ingenuineness of this review appears doubtful. Justify your opinion.
I feel this review is:
This airport must be improve if this wants to better airline service providing airport. We experience bad experience twice but I happy to review it on mouth shut . Amongst both I will tell you what are factors which I dont like.
I have been travelling by this airport interstate two times. Of course the charges are affordable. But I must say the airport is just horrible in every aspects. The airport attendants are not at all friendly and they must need some training to that how correctly behave with passengers . They wont even smile to customers and answer in a very rude manner as if they are not in busy in any work. The funniest thing is that there is a thank you process at the end of the airport exit. I wonder why they are doing it.
At least they could keep an artificial smile on their face. This is not a right way to welcome the foreigner tourist. They easily understand what happening inside. If they don’t mean it better not to do it. This time my flight was delayed with 3 hours which I dont like in any way. I had a urgent work. All the three hours in the airport, I was forced to sit straight.
Maintenance is so poor. I do not want to travel by this airport any more. Because of their customer behavior. They must stretch their helping hand to the passenger. They must recruit some well trained crew members. Otherwise this ins fracture will be broken one day.

Coochbehar Airport is now going to open tomorrow and I am surprised that even this airport is listed in mouthshut. I am happy as it is our Airport which is going to be open from Tomorrow.It is situated beside RAIL GHUMTI.
After a long year of wait about 4 years it is going started its journey again.In 2011 it is reopened for it journey but due non availability of passengers it got stopped after 5/6 months and after that long time it is going to open again.And this time there are two plane which will run two different times and its schedule perfect for journey.From Here it run for Bagdogda, Siliguri from there it will Run Kolkata.One of its seat capacity is 9 and another is 6.and its cost is high.it is for 4500 for Coochbehar to Siliguri which is high compare to other Air fare.
I think it would run successfully if its fare get reduced and for this they should have to arrange a plane with more seat capacity.
Till today's news for first flight 8 tickets have been sold out.and till today they allow for booking for 31 st March of 2016.
As a resident of Coochbehar I was really exited about the resuming of flight at Cooch Behar airport between Cooch Behar and Durgapur(Kolkata). This airport was lying unused and there were no hope of revive since long time. Now after a long while West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has announced a project for improving this airport and developing North Bengal air services.
Then daily flight services were about to start at COB airport between Coochbehar and Durgapur. But due to limited accessibility and poor services it has been called off again. It is just a pathway which is of now use. The flight service is under the darkness of losses for non availability of customer. They are thinking to turn it a helipad. It's a sad news for us.
YOUR RATING ON
It is a great effort to introduce Airport in coochbehar but it is now become dilapidated and around it junglee wood spread everywhere.its structure get damaged.it is not possible to run a airport if the passenger is counted 3/4 in a 14 seated plane and it was running fully under compensation from govt and no company do not bother to land their business in here as till now it is not able to fill up seat even it runs 3 days in a week.But if this is kept for a long time under compensation than after 6 months I think it will surely get its market and it would replace train journey of 1 st class in Rajdhani Express.
So Govt. have to came up and I think today's govt is so much concern about it and within a few days it would be opened again and will be kept open forever
Coochbehar, the city of Coochbehar palace is a big town and it would be better if it is called a town in stead of city. There has been a airport lying unused for long time.
Once daily flight services resumed at this airport between Coochbehar and Kolkata. But that had to be stopped due to extremely poor facilities and inconveniences. A chance of accident loomed large and the authorities stopped the service. I heard many years ago flights were operational between Coochbehar-Kolkata, Coochbehar-Guwahati and Coochbehar-Baghdogra. A person told me that during nineties a flight crashed due to some technical snag but didn't result in any casualty.It was the talk of the town that time.
The city of Coochbehar is very green and studded with innumerable trees. One can take a guess where the location of the unused, desolate airport is by standing on the roof of a three stories building.
If the operations at this airport resumes, people will be able to afford to the journey as it takes long time to travel to Kolkata either by train and of course bus and the bus journey will be horrendous, it goes without saying.
Because of its limited accessibility and not so economic prosperity, there is no concept of actual airport here. Moreover, the average earning of the people does not allow their pocket for air mode of travel.
It is just a empty land with road infrastructure in the airport fashion which might have earlier been planned for airport but actually today it is lying all idle and hardly there is any movement in this place. So, the infrastructure and manpower is hardly seen here. What you feel find here is some unorganized small houses establishments of casual workforce who have captured the place without legal authentication. So, there is no airport as such.
