Low-cost carrier Air India Express on Thursday announced that it will begin operations from the Hindon airport in Ghaziabad starting March 1.

“With this expansion, Air India Express will operate from two airports in NCR; Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) and Hindon Airport (HDO). The airline will commence services from Hindon on March 1, 2025, with direct flights to Bengaluru, Goa, and Kolkata,” a statement from the airline on Thursday read.

Currently, only one airline — IndiGo — operates from two airports within the same metropolitan region —the old Goa and MOPA airports.

Hindon currently has only Bangalore based regional carrier, Star Air (India) operating flights to Kalaburagi and Hubli. While Hubli-bound flights operate four times a week, Kalaburagi flights operate three times a week.

The Air India Express statement said, “Bookings for the new flights are now open on the airline’s website as well as other major booking platforms, with inaugural fares starting at ₹4,400 for Hindon–Kolkata, ₹4,900 for Hindon–Goa and Goa–Hindon, ₹5,500 for Kolkata–Hindon, ₹6,000 for Bengaluru–Hindon, and ₹6,200 for Hindon–Bengaluru.”
