IndiGo Adds New Direct Flights: Delhi-Jorhat And Trichy-Jaffna Routes Now Announced

IndiGo will launch two significant direct routes this autumn: a four-times-weekly service between Delhi and Jorhat in Assam from 20th September 2025, and a daily flight from Delhi to Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu, beginning from 16th September 2025. This expansion aims to strengthen connectivity, stimulate regional trade and tourism, and support local businesses.

IndiGo’s Delhi-Jorhat Direct Flight Strengthens North-East Links

The new Delhi-Jorhat direct service will operate four times weekly from 20th September 2025. According to the Economic Times, the route had previously been dormant, leaving passengers to rely on connecting and longer flights. Jorhat stands as a gateway to north-east India, known for its tea gardens, proximity to Majuli, one of the world’s largest river islands, and Kaziranga National Park. The reinstated service is expected to ease travel for tourists, business travellers, and residents, promoting the region’s cultural and ecological attractions.

Daily Delhi-Trichy IndiGo Flights Boost Southern Connectivity

IndiGo will also launch a daily flight between Delhi and Tiruchirappalli from 16th September 2025. Trichy is a city rich in heritage, home to iconic temples like Rockfort and Sri Ranganathaswamy, along with a strong industrial and educational presence. Regular connectivity to the national capital is poised to support pilgrim travel, educational tourism, and business interactions. The airline’s move will benefit travellers who seek direct, efficient access between central India and the south.

Impact On Tourism, Trade And Commerce

IndiGo expects that both routes will support regional trade and tourism, while fostering connections between key Indian states. As reported by the Economic Times, these additions form part of the airline’s strategy to enhance domestic connectivity and unlock growth opportunities. Improved air services often translate to more accessible markets, better business prospects, and increased travel, benefiting hotels, transport services, and cultural institutions in both Jorhat and Trichy.
