Noida will soon get direct air connectivity with Dehradun, with IndiGo Airlines set to launch a new flight service from March 29. The move is expected to significantly benefit air passengers travelling between Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

Preparations for the new route are already underway. At present, Dehradun’s Jolly Grant Airport is connected to major cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Lucknow, Jaipur, Bhubaneswar and Hyderabad, enabling faster travel for passengers heading to the hill state.
