However, Kolkata did witness a period of economic growth but it continues to struggle with problems of urbanization, like poverty, pollution and traffic congestion. The city's only airport is the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport at Dum Dum operating for both the domestic and international routes. Kolkata also serves as a major river-port of eastern India.
