Over the last few years, IndiGo has focused on increasing accessibility in the northeast and now connects seven out of eight states in the region. The direct flights between Kolkata-Hollongi will connect Arunachal Pradesh to the rest of the country and international destinations on the 6E network.”

The airline will begin services from Mumbai and Kolkata to Hollongi on November 28th, with flights on all days except Wednesday. From December 3rd, it will also add a 2nd weekly flight from Kolkata every Wednesday.

The Indian government, through its regional connectivity scheme UDAN, has tried to increase connectivity in the northeastern region of India by offering flight subsidies to airlines and developing the airport infrastructure.

Hollongi Airport received in-principle approval from the government in 2019 and was developed by the Airports Authority of India with the help of state and central governments at almost $80 million.

It has a 2,300-meter-long runway, permitting Arunachal Pradesh to host big aircraft for the 1st time ever. The airport infrastructure can support close to 300 passengers during peak hours and is equipped with VOR, ILS, and satellite-based procedures to allow landing at night.

Earlier this year, there were plans to make the airport fully operational by August 15th, coinciding with the 75th year of India’s independence, but that did not materialize.

Last month, IndiGo performed a successful test landing at the airport to gauge its preparedness for future operations.
