Flybig to fly twice weekly from Delhi to Shillong on 2nd May, strengthens connectivity to North East

flybig, India’s newest airline, rapidly expands its network into Tier II and Tier III cities. It has generated a new niche group of air commuters who are transitioning from train to air travel, with airfares being priced at the same price levels as AC 2 Class train tickets.

On May 2, 2022, flybig will begin service between Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi and Shillong International Airport in Meghalaya. flybig flights will also be available from Shillong International Airport to Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, making it a to-and-fro flight service connecting Meghalaya and the nation’s capital.

Speaking on this growth and route expansion, CMD flybig Captain Sanjay Mandavia said, “I am pleased to announce that flybig would be operating direct flights from Delhi to Shillong, which will increase our airline’s footprint through the pan North-East regionThe commencement of the twice a week flights between Delhi and Shillong, I am confident that this new connectivity option will not only provide greater ease of access to the rest of India but also meet the long-standing expectation of the people of Meghalaya for an airline service that enables faster and more regular connectivity with the rest of India.”

On the Delhi – Shillong aviation route, flybig will use the much acclaimed and very popular long-range regional aircraft – the Q 400 manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace /De Havilland Canada.
