MORE INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS

As per the reports, efforts are going on to start flights from Guwahati to Yangon (Myanmar), Kathmandu (Nepal), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Hanoi (Vietnam) and Bangkok (Thailand) within the next few months.

Earlier, a flight started between Guwahati and Dhaka under the Centre’s UDAAN scheme but was discontinued due to scarcity of traffic.

The state government is constantly working to add more international flights from Guwahati in the coming years.
