Direct flights from Agartala to Bagdogra launched October 26, 2025, with Silchar service resuming after nearly 30 years.

Direct flights from Agartala to Bagdogra began October 26, 2025, operated by Air India Express, while services to Silchar resumed October 28 after nearly 30 years, with IndiGo offering twice-weekly flights. The upgrades expand Agartala’s direct domestic routes to 10 cities, including Kolkata, Delhi, and Guwahati. The airport, now the second busiest in India’s Northeast, features a 30,000 sq. meter terminal and ranks 10th nationally in customer satisfaction. A proposed Agartala–Chittagong flight remains delayed due to political instability in Bangladesh, despite a Rs 15 crore state commitment. The airport, established during World War II with support from Tripura’s royal family, endured Japanese air raids in 1943.
