Akasa Air, India’s fastest-growing airline, announced the addition of Dibrugarh as the 32^nd overall and 26^th domestic destination to its network, strengthening its footprint in Assam. Starting 01 February 2026, the airline will operate 3 weekly direct flights between Dibrugarh and Bagdogra along with through-flights between Dibrugarh and Bengaluru via Bagdogra, (with no change of aircraft required at Bagdogra). Bookings for flights are now open on Akasa Air’s website www.akasaair.com, Android and iOS app and through multiple leading OTAs. This expansion complements Akasa Air’s existing operations from Guwahati and further enhances access to India’s Northeast region.

Dibrugarh, widely known as the Tea City of India, is a key economic and cultural centre in Upper Assam and a vital gateway to neighbouring Northeastern states. Strengthened air access to the city will help establish meaningful travel corridors across the region, improve intra-Northeast mobility and support rising demand from both business and leisure travellers.

Commenting on the expansion, Praveen Iyer, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer, Akasa Air, said, “Dibrugarh’s addition to the Akasa Air network represents an important step in advancing our long-term strategy of strengthening air connectivity across high-potential regions of the country. Assam and the broader Northeast hold significant economic and cultural importance for India, and improved air access is critical to accelerating the region’s growth trajectory. With this launch, we continue to build a balanced and future-ready network that improves mobility for travellers, deepens regional integration, and connects emerging centres with India’s key economic hubs. We look forward to offering travellers the warm and dependable Akasa experience that has become our hallmark.
