IndiGo on Monday ( May 7) announced to begin daily flights connecting Darbhanga with Hyderabad, Kolkata, and from July 5 onwards.
“Being the 6th largest metropolis in Bihar, Darbhanga is also one of the fastest-growing cities of India owing to the increasing opportunities in manufacturing and trade across the states,” the statement read.
This announcement by IndiGo has come at a time when India and its aviation sector have been badly hit due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
Domestic air travel had reached around 3 lakh passengers per day by the end of February this year. However, the second wave of the pandemic has reduced it to around 85,000 passengers per day, reported on Sunday.
