IndiGo to launch direct Kolkata-Purnea flights
Sep-09-2025

Interglobe Aviation (IndiGo) is all set to launch direct flights connecting Kolkata (West Bengal) and Purnea (Bihar), thrice every week, starting September 15, 2025. Purnea is IndiGo’s 94th domestic and 137th overall destination, and fourth in Bihar after Patna, Gaya, and Darbhanga. Commencement of IndiGo’s service on this route will also mark the inauguration of the Purnea airport, underscoring the airline’s commitment to enhancing connectivity to Tier-II and Tier-III cities.

Flights on this new route will be operated with IndiGo’s ATR aircraft, ensuring seamless and affordable air travel for customers between Bihar’s Seemanchal region and Kolkata, eastern India’s major aviation hub. With this, travellers from Purnea will get access to IndiGo’s vast domestic and international network via Kolkata. This development will not only enable IndiGo to expand access to underserved markets but also promote trade, tourism, and economic growth in eastern India. 

Interglobe Aviation provides air transportation services in India and internationally. The company primarily operates IndiGo passenger airline.
