The Airports Authority of India (AAI) said on Friday that the leading low-cost carrier IndiGo will resume direct flights between Kolkata and Shillong from 1st February 2020.
The decision comes after the Meghalaya government decided to reopen the state for tourists after remaining closed for almost 10 months due to COVID-19.
The northeastern state was connected with Delhi last month by direct flight services of regional airline flybig.
“After the long suspension of their flight due to #COVID19 pandemic, M/s Indigo @IndiGo6E is all set to resume its Kolkata flight from 1st Feb. Booking is started.
