The new service is expected to offer quicker access for those flying to and from Bengaluru, Goa, and Kolkata, particularly benefiting passengers from western Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, including cities like Bareilly, Dehradun, Meerut, and Saharanpur.
Located in Ghaziabad, Hindon Airport is set to serve as a prime departure point for passengers from Central and East Delhi, Noida, and surrounding areas such as Akshardham, Anand Vihar, Parliament Street, Central Secretariat, Chandni Chowk, Connaught Place, Indirapuram, Karol Bagh, Vaishali, Vasundhara and beyond.
The airline is also keen on expanding accessibility to air travel for a larger demographic, catering to aspiring travellers from nearby regions, with the goal of improving regional connectivity and making flying more convenient for people in these areas.
