Sanjay Kumar, Chief Strategy and Revenue Officer, Indigo, said:
We are pleased to have one of Bihar’s largest cities, Darbhanga, as our new domestic destination in 6E network. Increased connectivity between the three states will help promote trade and commerce in the region. IndiGo is committed to provide wider networks with an affordable, on-time, safe and hassle-free travel experience onboard our lean clean flying machine.
Until now, SpiceJet was the only airline operating flights out of Darbhanga. It operates flights to Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Pune. With the entry of Indigo, passengers now will have more choice on flights to Darbhanga.
Meanwhile, Indigo recently launched flights to Rajkot and Bareilly & also introduced a door-to-door baggage service. The airline has also signed a deal with CFM for Leap-1A engines to power its aircrafts.
