Aizawl: In a bid to enhance connectivity between the two cities, low-cost carrier IndiGo has doubled the number of flights between New Delhi and Aizawl from Saturday.
The airline has increased the frequency of its flights from five to 10 per week between the two cities. There will be a daily flight with additional services on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma on Saturday flagged off the doubling of IndiGo Airlines flights between the state capital Aizawl and New Delhi at the Lengpui Airport.
The chief minister also distributed boarding passes to passengers during the event.
This expansion in air service marks a significant step forward in enhancing Mizoram’s link with the rest of the country.
In his address during the flag-off ceremony, CM Lalduhoma expressed his gratitude to the Ministry of Civil Aviation and IndiGo for their support in responding to his request to increase flight frequency.
He stressed that the additional flights will not only improve air transportation but will also strengthen Mizoram’s ties with the rest of India across various sectors, fostering economic, cultural, and social integration.
