IndiGo to commence operations from new Terminal at Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport from July 20
Guwahati, July 17
Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport announced that IndiGo will transition all its flight operations to the T2 with effect from 12:01 AM on July 20, a release stated.
As per the release, with this transition, all IndiGo arrivals and departures at Guwahati Airport will be operated from Terminal 2, offering passengers a modern, seamless and enhanced travel experience.
The New Integrated Terminal has been designed to provide world-class passenger amenities, improved operational efficiency and greater comfort while catering to the growing air travel demand in the region.
Inspired by Assam's rich cultural heritage, the New Terminal features a distinctive bamboo-themed architectural design that reflects the region's identity while incorporating contemporary infrastructure and sustainable design principles.
The terminal has also earned international recognition for its design excellence, reinforcing its position as one of India's most modern airport terminals and setting a new benchmark for passenger experience in the Northeast, the media release noted.
The release said that the passengers travelling on IndiGo flights from July 20 onwards are advised to report directly to Terminal 2 for check-in, security screening and boarding. The airport has put in place comprehensive passenger facilitation measures, including clear wayfinding signage, passenger information displays and on-ground assistance to ensure a smooth transition.
The migration of IndiGo operations marks another significant milestone in the phased operationalisation of the New Terminal and reinforces Guwahati Airport's commitment to enhancing connectivity and delivering a superior passenger experience as the gateway to Northeast India.
Passengers are advised to check their flight details with IndiGo before commencing their journey and to arrive at the airport well in advance of their scheduled departure.

Greetings from Canada! I flew into Guwahati last year and the old terminal was a bit cramped. This seems like a positive step. However, I do wonder if the new terminal has enough capacity for international flights since the Northeast is becoming a tourism hotspot. The identity-driven design concept is clever - many Canadian airports could learn from this.
This is great for the region! But I hope the authorities also pay attention to the road connectivity to the new terminal. Last time I went to the airport, the approach road was a mess during rains. Passengers getting there first should be smooth too, not just inside the terminal. Babus please fix that too.
I travel from the UK to Guwahati to visit family every year. This upgrade is long overdue! The bamboo design is beautiful and authentic to Assam. My only concern is that July is peak travel season - hope the transition is smooth for all passengers. Would love to see more direct international flights from this airport in future. ✈️
Proud moment for the Northeast! But just reporting to terminal 2 directly from July 20 - are there enough signages and staff to guide passengers? Many elderly people traveling alone might get confused. The airport should have volunteers available for at least the first week. Otherwise, good initiative by IndiGo.
