IndiGo Launches New Flights from Durgapur Airport

IndiGo has launched two new flight routes from Durgapur Airport in West Bengal, connecting Bhubaneswar with Bagdogra and Guwahati, aimed at enhancing travel convenience and supporting regional economic growth. The Bhubaneswar-Durgapur-Bagdogra flight commenced on August 30, operating four times a week, while the Bhubaneswar-Durgapur-Guwahati service began on August 31, running three times weekly. Kailash Mandal, director of Durgapur Airport, expressed enthusiasm about these routes, highlighting their importance in meeting growing demand and improving travel experiences. The Durgapur Airport already provides connections to major cities, including Delhi and Mumbai. These new services are part of efforts to strengthen connectivity in eastern India, particularly after recent disruptions due to natural disasters in the region. The airport's strategic location in the industrial belt of Paschim Bardhaman district positions it as a key player in regional air travel.
