Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday announced that low-cost airline IndiGo would commence a non-stop flight between Delhi and Jorhat from mid-September.
”New Delhi-Jorhat Direct Flight from September 2025- It was a pleasure to meet the leadership of @IndiGo6E in New Delhi to discuss their roadmap for expanding air connectivity in Assam,” the chief minister posted on ‘X’.
The chief minister said that the airline has planned to enhance air connectivity to other locations in the state.
”Delighted to share that @IndiGo6E will commence a non-stop flight between Delhi and Jorhat starting mid-September 2025,” he added.
During his recent visit to New Delhi, the chief minister met the senior management of the airline and urged them to expand air connectivity to other key locations across Assam, particularly Silchar, Dibrugarh, and North Lakhimpur.
The Delhi–Dibrugarh flight will be restructured to include a stopover at Guwahati, enhancing morning connectivity between the major cities of Assam.
The low-cost carrier will restructure its schedule to introduce a morning Guwahati-Silchar flight, addressing the long-standing demand of passengers, Sarma said.
A new Guwahati-Navi Mumbai service will commence from the 2025-26 winter schedule, he said.
The chief minister said IndiGo will soon evaluate scheduled operations from Lilabari Airport in North Lakhimpur.
