Ghaziabad: IndiGo has recently launched direct flights connecting Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad to nine key Indian cities, marking a significant expansion of its presence in the National Capital Region. This is the airline’s second base in NCR after Delhi.
The new routes will link Hindon with Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Goa, Indore, Kolkata, Mumbai, Patna, and Varanasi, providing a closer and more convenient travel option for residents of Ghaziabad, Noida, East and Central Delhi, and parts of Western Uttar Pradesh.
The launch event was attended by Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu, who called the move “a significant milestone in enhancing regional connectivity.”
“We are committed to enhancing the aviation infrastructure across India to enable seamless and convenient service connecting the smallest towns in the country with the growing cities and metros,” he said.
“With the growing connectivity and passenger footfall at Hindon, we are working for the expansion of the terminal building. I congratulate IndiGo on the launch of operations from Hindon airport.”
The minister added that the Hindon terminal, developed under the UDAN regional connectivity scheme, offers the benefit of proximity for a wide population in the NCR region.
IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers said the carrier will operate nearly 70 weekly flights from Hindon.
“With nearly 70 weekly departures from the airport, we aim to enhance point-to-point travel for customers from the region, offering them the option of taking a flight from an airport closer to their homes,” he said.
The airline said the new services will offer flexibility to a wide variety of travellers—be it business trips to Bengaluru, religious journeys to Varanasi, or weekend getaways to Goa.
