During winter, flights are often delayed or canceled due to fog, mist, and low temperatures.
With the winter season underway and temperatures steadily dropping, travelers frequently experience issues with delayed or canceled flights.
To address these challenges, Air India Express has announced an increase in the number of flights for its passengers.
Where Are New Flights Increasing From?
Air India Express has announced an increase in flights from three Northeastern destinations: Guwahati, Agartala, and Imphal, as part of its winter schedule.
This move is part of the airline’s plan to expand its budget flight services across the country during the winter season.
In a statement, the airline confirmed the decision to enhance connectivity from the Northeast region.
Which Cities Will the Airline Connect with the New Services?
It offers direct flights to eight domestic destinations: Agartala, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Imphal, Jaipur, and Kolkata.
Additionally, the airline provides one-stop connectivity to 18 domestic and six international destinations from Guwahati.
Since Agartala was added as a station in September 2024, the airline has increased its weekly flights there from 14 to 21, directly connecting Guwahati and Kolkata.
From Agartala, it also offers one-stop connectivity to 11 domestic destinations.
Number of Weekly Flights Increased from 63 to 106
Air India Express has raised its weekly flight operations from Guwahati, increasing the number from 63 last winter to 106 this season.
The airline also reported that in Imphal, it has increased the weekly flights to 34, which is 20 more than the previous winter.
The airline’s management expressed their happiness
Ankur Garg, the Chief Commercial Officer of the airline, stated that this expansion will not only make travel easier for those looking to explore the Northeast but also strengthen Guwahati’s position as a key connection to the rest of the country.
He added, “Our fleet has now grown to over 90 aircraft, and it is expanding quickly. We are well-equipped to meet the growing needs of emerging Indian cities.”
