Drukair started operating flight on this new route from September 29. While this development will facilitate travellers to cut down their travel time, it is also expected that the new link will not only strengthen socio-political and cultural ties but will also improve travel and trade practices between the two countries.
Lim Ching Kiat, Managing Director of Air Hub Development, Changi Airport Group, referring to this development said that India is the source of third largest tourism market for Singapore and it is one of the key growth markets of Changi Airport. Introduction of the new route will enhance connectivity between India and Singapore, thereby bringing the city links to a total of 16. He further added that he looks forward to welcoming more travellers from Guwahati, who can tap Changi’s extensive network of destinations in Asia, such as China, Australia, Japan and Indonesia.
