IndiGo Expands Assam Flight Network: New Routes to Silchar, Dibrugarh, and Beyond

Assam’s regional air connectivity is set for a major upgrade. Following a strategic push by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, IndiGo is launching and restructuring several key flight routes across the state, transforming travel access to underserved destinations.

A Strategic Meeting with Lasting Impact

During his recent visit to New Delhi, CM Sarma met with IndiGo’s leadership to highlight long-standing passenger demands from Assam’s travellers. As a result, the airline committed to enhancing its footprint across the region, with new flight deployments designed to improve both business and personal travel for residents and corporates alike.

Key Announcements That Redefine Regional Travel

◼ Delhi–Dibrugarh via Guwahati

This revamped flight now includes a Guwahati stopover, offering convenient morning connectivity between Assam’s political and cultural capitals.

◼ Morning Guwahati–Silchar Flights

IndiGo will restructure its schedule to introduce an early Guwahati–Silchar connection, meeting the long-voiced demands of the Barak Valley.

◼ New Guwahati–Navi Mumbai Route

Launching in the Winter 2025–26 schedule, this route opens direct business connectivity between Assam and India’s financial hub.

◼ North Lakhimpur (Lilabari) on IndiGo’s Radar

The airline will soon evaluate scheduled operations from Lilabari Airport, bringing North Assam closer to the mainstream aviation map.

◼ Delhi–Jorhat Direct Flights from September 2025

A direct link between Delhi and Jorhat will commence mid-September 2025, catering to both tourism and administrative travel.

Why This Matters for B2B Travel Professionals

• Improved regional access helps consolidate itineraries for business clients, government staff, and corporate travellers.

• Faster connections between tier-2 cities and metros optimise travel time for MICE and administrative groups.

• Assam’s emerging market potential makes it a prime candidate for inbound tourism development and logistics expansion.

For travel agents, consolidators, and planners, these updates offer fresh opportunities to create high-demand, localised itineraries and boost regional tourism networks.

Conclusion: Assam’s Skies Are Opening Up

With IndiGo stepping up its route portfolio in response to government advocacy, Assam’s air travel ecosystem is entering a new phase of growth. These additions not only boost regional travel but also mark a strategic investment in Northeast India's integration with national and global networks.
