Guwahati Airport opens Terminal 2, boosting North-East connectivity.

The inauguration of Terminal 2 at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (LGBI) in Guwahati, Assam, marks a significant milestone in the development of commercial aviation infrastructure across India’s North-Eastern region. Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially opened the cutting-edge facility, which is designed to substantially increase passenger handling capacity and modernize the gateway to Assam. This development is central to the Indian government's focus on improving air connectivity in historically underserved regions.

The new terminal is expected to elevate the overall passenger experience by incorporating advanced technology and expanded retail and service areas. Aviation analysts suggest that the improved infrastructure at LGBI will facilitate increased air traffic movements (ATMs) and potentially attract new carriers, thereby boosting regional economic activity and tourism. The enhanced capacity is crucial for managing the growing demand for air travel between the North-East and major metropolitan hubs across India.
