In a significant milestone for aviation in the Northeast, Guwahati’s Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport recorded remarkable growth in passenger numbers and aircraft movements in 2024. This surge underscores the region’s evolving prominence as a gateway to India’s northeastern states and its role in enhancing regional connectivity.
The airport has experienced a year-on-year increase in domestic and international passenger traffic, highlighting the growing demand for air travel in this strategically important region. New routes and improved services contributed to this upward trajectory, making Guwahati a critical hub in India’s aviation network.
