IndiGo adds Deoghar as the 74th domestic destination, strengthens regional presence

In line with its commitment to enhance domestic connectivity, IndiGo, India's leading airline, has announced the launch of its 74th domestic and 99th overall destination. The airline will commence exclusive flights between Kolkata-Deoghar, effective July 12, 2022. These new connections will enhance the connectivity between eastern states of the country. The flights will enhance connectivity in the region, especially with the Shravani Mela kickstarting next week, which attracts over 2.5Mn people every year.

Mr. Sanjay Kumar, Chief Strategy and Revenue Officer, IndiGo said, "We are pleased to announce Deoghar as the 74th destination on the 6E network. These new flights will enhance connectivity and significantly reduce transit time between Kolkata and Deoghar, from 7.5 hrs to less than 1.25hrs. The increased access to Deoghar - home to Baba Baidyanath Temple, Trikuta Parvata, Rama Krishna Mission Vidyapith and Naulakha Mandir - will also boost religious tourism in the region. We strive to consistently provide our signature on-time, courteous, and hassle-free service at affordable fares, across our unparalleled network."
