Kolkata, Oct 2: IndiGo Launches Direct Flights Connecting Delhi and Itanagar, Enhancing Connectivity to Northeast India”
IndiGo has commenced exclusive direct flights between Delhi and Itanagar, effective October 2. This new direct connection marks a significant milestone in IndiGo’s efforts to catalyze substantial growth in the region, connecting Itanagar with three metropolitan hubs, including Mumbai, Kolkata, and now Delhi.
Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales, IndiGo, expressed, “Building on our commitment to strategically enhance connectivity to the Northeast, we are pleased to commence direct flights between Delhi and Itanagar. This strategic addition not only offers passengers expanded travel options but also opens up exciting opportunities for those looking to explore the enchanting landscapes of Arunachal Pradesh.”
He further added that passengers from the region can now have added convenience and save time by traveling directly to Delhi, serving as a gateway to IndiGo’s extensive domestic and international network.
IndiGo has actively worked to enhance accessibility in the Northeast India region, connecting with seven out of the eight states. The airline marked a significant milestone on November 28, 2022, by launching operations at Donyi Polo Airport in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, connecting the city to prominent cities like Mumbai and Kolkata.
With the introduction of this new Delhi-Itanagar flight, less accessible destinations like Tawang are expected to experience a surge in tourist arrivals via scheduled commercial flights, contributing to the economic growth of the city and the state.
