​Gurugram/IBNS: IndiGo has commenced Delhi-Dharamshala flights, its 78th domestic and 104th overall destination, the carrier said in a press release.

The destination marks the airline’s entry in Himachal Pradesh and will strengthen domestic connectivity, and provide accessibility while making travel more affordable and hassle-free for customers during the summer season, it said.

Speaking on the occasion, IndiGo Head of Global Sales Vinay Malhotra said, “We are extremely pleased to announce the launch of our operations from Dharamshala, the 78th domestic destination in the 6E network, making our way into the serene valleys of Himachal Pradesh.”

Direct connectivity to Dharamshala will provide a gateway for the tourists to explore the local markets, temples and monasteries, museums, churches and unwind in the picturesque waterfalls and mountains of Himachal Pradesh, noted Malhotra.

This move aims to bolster passenger traffic even further as we have witnessed a strong demand for connectivity to Himachal Pradesh.
