Air India Express Expands Winter Flight Operations in Northeast India
Air India Express has good news for travellers in Northeast India: the airline will be adding more flights from three big cities: Guwahati, Imphal, and Agartala. This change is part of the airline's winter schedule for 2024. Its goal is to better connectivity, which will make it easier for people to travel within India and to other parts of the world.
A company statement says that the airline is focussing on growing its position in the Northeast, which has been an important but underserved area for air travel for a long time. By adding more flights from these towns, Air India Express hopes to meet the rising demand for travel within India and between Indian cities.
More flights to important destinations from Guwahati
The good news for people who are flying out of Guwahati, the capital of Assam, is that the airline has greatly raised the number of flights it runs each week. This winter, Air India Express will have 106 flights a week from Guwahati. That's a big increase from last year, when there were only 63 flights. With these flights, Guwahati can reach important cities in India like Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Imphal, Jaipur, and Agartala. With this addition, people travelling from Guwahati will have more easy ways to get to their favourite places to fly.
Imphal: Better Ways to Connect
There are also a lot more flights going through Imphal, which is the main city of Manipur. This winter, Air India Express will have 34 flights a week from Imphal, up from 14 flights during the same time last year. With this rise, it will be a lot easier for people to get to big cities across the country. Residents of Imphal will find it easier to get to major cities like Delhi, Kolkata, and Chennai now that there are more planes.
An new airport hub has opened in Agartala.
The growth of Air India Express is also good for Agartala, which is the city of Tripura. Since September 2024, when the city became a new station, the airline has been growing more present there. This winter, Agartala will have 21 planes a week, up from 14 the previous year. Because of this expansion, more people in and around Agartala will be able to take direct flights to Kolkata, Guwahati, and other famous Indian cities.
Why it's Important to Expand
This growth of Air India Express's services is important for the Northeast because it meets a rising need for better connectivity. The airline's move comes at a time when more people want to travel for work, school, or fun. Making it easier for everyone to travel by air is worthwhile. There will also be more flights from these places, which should help the local economies because more people will be able to fly in and enjoy the Northeast's rich culture and history.
Air India Express is working to connect the Northeast to the rest of India by making flights more affordable and easy to get to. This makes travel easier, faster, and more convenient for everyone.
This winter schedule change will make it easier for people in the Northeast to fly, whether they are travelling for work or pleasure. Air India Express is always adding new services and connecting more people across the country, so keep an eye out for more news.
