In a significant boost to regional air travel, IndiGo Airlines has announced the launch of a new daily morning flight service connecting Dibrugarh, the heart of Assam’s tea industry, with Guwahati, the state’s commercial and political hub. Set to commence operations on October 26, this new service is poised to resolve a long-standing scheduling challenge for travelers by finally offering an essential early departure option. The move is expected to greatly enhance same-day travel feasibility for business professionals, tourists, and patients seeking medical consultations.
The introduction of this new route, designated as Flight 6E 467, is a direct response to the escalating demand for improved air connectivity within the region. Previously, passengers from Upper Assam faced limited flight options, with services primarily concentrated in the afternoon. Air India Express has a daily flight at 2:00 pm, and an existing IndiGo service operates at 2:30 pm. This meant that individuals needing to attend time-sensitive engagements, such as critical business meetings, government appointments, or urgent medical consultations in the capital, often had to wait for several hours or travel a day earlier. The new morning option effectively fills this crucial gap, granting travelers greater flexibility and convenience for their time-sensitive itineraries.
The daily flight will depart from Dibrugarh’s Mohanbari Airport at 9:15 am, ensuring a prompt morning arrival in Guwahati (Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport) at 10:20 am. The complementary return journey is scheduled to leave Guwahati at 2:50 pm and reach Dibrugarh by 3:45 pm. This addition marks a critical expansion of IndiGo’s presence on the route, bringing the total number of direct daily flights offered by the airline between the two cities to two.
By significantly expanding travel options, IndiGo is not just improving mobility; it is also expected to stimulate regional economic growth. The enhanced ease of travel will make both Dibrugarh and Guwahati more attractive to investors, business professionals, and tourists alike. Increased mobility supports the local economy by providing better access to essential services like healthcare and education, strengthening the interconnection between the two key Assamese cities.
Furthermore, the expanded schedule will prove beneficial for passengers wishing to utilize Guwahati as a convenient hub for connecting to other destinations across India. The launch of Flight 6E 467 underscores the airline’s commitment to regional market enhancement and its recognition of the critical role that efficient air transport plays in driving economic development. For travelers in Dibrugarh and surrounding areas, this new morning service represents a vital step toward a more accessible and convenient travel landscape.
