Air India Express today inaugurated its Dibrugarh operations, strengthening its presence in Northeast India. A new daily direct flight now links Dibrugarh and Guwahati, offering convenient one-stop service to Delhi without requiring a change of aircraft. This marks the airline’s fifth Northeast hub, joining Agartala, Dimapur, Guwahati, and Imphal. The inaugural flight departed Dibrugarh at 1:45 PM, arriving in Guwahati at 3:15 PM before continuing to Delhi.
The new route offers enhanced connectivity from Dibrugarh to key Indian cities, including Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Jaipur, and Kolkata. Air India Express also unveiled two aircraft with special liveries celebrating Assamese culture, featuring designs inspired by the Gamosa and Jaapi. This expansion comes as Air India Express rapidly grows its network to over 50 destinations, with a fleet projected to exceed 100 aircraft.
In Dibrugarh, this new flight is a significant boost. The city, a major commercial center in Upper Assam, is known for its tea industry and proximity to oil and natural gas fields. Improved air connectivity will facilitate business travel, enabling faster access to markets for local tea producers and energy sector companies. It will also stimulate tourism, attracting visitors to explore the region’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. The enhanced connectivity will also create new opportunities for local businesses and residents, fostering economic growth in the region.
