In a major boost to international air connectivity from Northeast India, Air India Express has announced the launch of direct non-stop flights from Guwahati to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, marking a significant milestone for the region’s aviation sector.
The State Government was informed by Air India on Tuesday about the details of the new international services.
According to the airline, direct non-stop flights between Guwahati and Dubai will commence from August 4, while direct non-stop flights between Guwahati and Abu Dhabi will begin operations from August 7.
