Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Tuesday flagged off the first direct flight between Guwahati-Dibrugarh-Guwahati from Dibrugarh Airport.
The direct flight service is expected to boost connectivity in the region. The initiative is taken by the Government of Assam to make Guwahati the hub of South East Asian connectivity.
Speaking on the move, Sonowal said, "Our Government has been persistent to fill air connectivity void between Guwahati and Dibrugrah. It's a fulfilling moment for us, Thank you SpiceJet for giving a new impetus to air connectivity within the State. The flight will also connect Dibrugarh with Silchar, marking a new chapter in connectivity, bringing closer the Barak and Brahmaputra valleys."
