Dibrugarh Airport, a key aviation hub in Assam, is gearing up to observe 'Yatri Suvidha Diwas' on June 15, marking twelve years of substantial expansion and modernisation. This commemorative event is designed to acknowledge the relentless efforts of airport staff, stakeholders, and the invaluable support of passengers who have contributed to the airport's growth.
Over the past decade, the airport has undergone extensive transformation, paralleling the broader growth seen in India's aviation sector, which has witnessed a near doubling of operational airports and a significant boost in regional connectivity. At Dibrugarh, these improvements include a crucial runway extension, comprehensive upgrades to its airside and terminal infrastructure, enhanced navigational systems, and a range of improved passenger amenities designed to elevate the travel experience.
Airport Director Bangajit Saha noted that the airport's development is integral to fostering economic growth and improving connectivity across Northeast India. The 'Yatri Suvidha Diwas' will feature a variety of activities, including vibrant cultural performances that reflect the region's rich heritage, health camps for passengers and staff, and interactive passenger engagement programmes. These initiatives are intended to strengthen the bond between the airport and its community, celebrating its journey as a vital gateway to the Northeast.
The event serves as a platform to underscore the airport's commitment to continuous improvement and its strategic importance in linking Assam and the wider Northeast region to the rest of the country, facilitating both trade and tourism.
