Air India Express launched its first flight from Dibrugarh today, marking a significant expansion in Northeast India. The new daily direct service connects Dibrugarh to Guwahati, offering seamless one-stop connectivity to Delhi without an aircraft change. This is the airline’s fifth destination in the region, after 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 provides Dibrugarh with convenient connections to major Indian cities like Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Jaipur, and Kolkata. This enhanced connectivity is expected to boost trade and tourism in Dibrugarh, a key commercial hub in Upper Assam known for its tea industry and proximity to oil and natural gas fields.
The improved air links will also facilitate easier access to markets for local businesses and provide greater travel options for residents. Air India Express has also showcased its commitment to the region by featuring Assamese-inspired liveries on two of its new aircraft.
