Dibrugarh Airport DIB

Dibrugarh Airport (DIB), in Mohanbari, is about 15 km east of the city in the state of Assam. It is the main airport of eastern Assam, a region famous for its tea plantations and the gateway to Arunachal Pradesh. It opened in the 1950s and is one of the ten busiest airports in Northeast India: between April 2025 and March 2026 it handled around 840,000 passengers.

Terminals

There is one terminal, opened in 2009, with room for about 500 passengers at a time. Arrivals and departures share the same building, so there are no internal transfers. The 2,286 m runway handles aircraft of the Airbus A320 family and the Boeing 737.

Airlines and destinations

Three airlines operate, all on domestic routes. IndiGo has the most: Agartala, Bengaluru, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad and Kolkata. Air India Express flies to Delhi, Guwahati and Siliguri, and Akasa Air to Bengaluru and Siliguri. There are no regular international flights. Guwahati is the key connection for onward travel within the Northeast.

Services

This is a small-to-medium airport with the usual facilities of an Indian regional terminal. Do not expect VIP lounges or a large shopping offer; for meals, shopping or changing money, it is best to sort things out in the city before you leave.

Tips

The area has a humid climate, with heavy rain in the monsoon and fog in winter, which can cause delays, so leave a buffer if you connect in Guwahati or Delhi. Bring your e-ticket and a photo ID for the terminal entrance check. The city is about 15 km away, so allow for the road transfer.
