Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati has reported robust growth in passenger footfall and aircraft movements during the first quarter of the 2025–26 financial year, indicating a steady recovery and expansion in regional air travel.
Managed by the Adani Group, the airport recorded a 15 percent year-on-year increase in passenger traffic between April and June 2025, according to a statement issued on Friday. The number of flights operating in and out of the airport also saw double-digit growth, signaling improved connectivity and rising travel demand.
The surge in traffic has been attributed to increased connectivity with major Indian cities. Delhi, Kolkata, and Bengaluru emerged as the top three destinations for flyers using the Guwahati airport, reflecting consistent demand on these routes.
The airport authority said the upward trend demonstrates the resilience and growing importance of Guwahati as a key aviation hub in the Northeast. The improved figures come amid ongoing infrastructure upgrades and efforts to streamline operations for better passenger experience.
Officials noted that investments in airport infrastructure and enhanced airline services have contributed to the steady growth, while increased tourism and business activity in Assam and the surrounding region have played a key role in boosting air traffic.
With the festival season and more tourism-linked activity expected in the coming quarters, the airport management is optimistic that the growth momentum will continue in the second half of the fiscal year
