CM Himanta Confirms IndiGo’s New Flight Services in Assam.

B O News Desk : In a significant boost to air connectivity in Assam, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma on Monday announced a series of new flight routes in collaboration with IndiGo Airlines, including the much-anticipated launch of a direct flight between Delhi and Jorhat, starting from September 20, 2025. The announcement came following a meeting between the Chief Minister and IndiGo’s top management in New Delhi, where they discussed plans to enhance regional and national connectivity for Assam.

Taking to social media to share the development, Sarma posted.

Apart from the Delhi–Jorhat service, IndiGo will also introduce additional early morning daily flights on two key intra-state routes: Guwahati–Silchar and Guwahati–Dibrugarh, starting from the same date. These services are expected to greatly benefit daily commuters, students, and professionals travelling within the state, particularly those from Barak and Upper Assam.

Additionally, a direct flight between Guwahati and Navi Mumbai is slated to begin under the Winter 2025–26 schedule, creating a crucial link between Assam and Maharashtra’s booming financial hub.

In another strategic update, the existing Delhi–Dibrugarh flight will soon include a stopover at Guwahati, enhancing connectivity between Assam’s key cities and reducing layover times for passengers heading to Upper Assam.

The introduction of a non-stop Delhi–Jorhat flight addresses a longstanding demand from residents, students, and defence personnel in Upper Assam. The improved flight schedules for Guwahati–Silchar and Guwahati–Dibrugarh routes are also expected to ease travel difficulties faced by daily fliers and medical patients seeking advanced treatment in Guwahati.

With these latest additions, Assam is poised to become a more connected and accessible state, further integrating the Northeast with the rest of India.
