Mr. Sanjay Kumar, Chief Strategy and Revenue Office, IndiGo said, “We are pleased to announce Itanagar (Hollongi), as the 75th destination on the 6E network. This will be IndiGo’s first destination in Arunachal Pradesh. 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 new airport in Hollongi, officially known as Donyi Polo Airport is located only 15 km away from the state capital, Itanagar (Hollongi). The increased access to Itanagar (Hollongi), also known as the land of dawn-lit mountains will boost tourist footprint at destinations like Ita Fort, Jawaharlal Nehru Museum, Namdapha National Park, and places like Tawang, which is a beautiful town positioned between the Gudpi and Chong-Chung Mi ranges. Travelers can explore the glacial lakes of Sangetser and Sela, meditate in the Taktsang Gompa, or go up the Gorichen Peak, which offers excellent views of the town below.
These flights are designed to cater to business and leisure travelers who are constantly on the lookout for new and affordable flying options to access destinations that help in building businesses and are known for their tourist attractions.
