Dibrugarh Airport (DIB)

Dibrugarh Airport (DIB), also known historically as Mohanbari Airport, is a vital aviation gateway in the state of Assam, serving the city of Dibrugarh and the surrounding tea-growing regions. As one of the oldest airports in Eastern India, it has evolved from its early days as a military airstrip during World War II into a modern domestic hub that plays a crucial role in the connectivity of the Upper Assam region and the neighboring state of Arunachal Pradesh. The airport features a sophisticated integrated terminal building that was inaugurated in 2009. Spanning over 10,500 square meters, the facility is designed to handle up to 500 passengers during peak hours. It is equipped with modern infrastructure including ten check-in counters, three security counters, and two aerobridges, which significantly enhance the boarding experience for travelers. The terminal's layout is efficient and passenger-friendly, reflecting the growing importance of Dibrugarh as a regional economic center. Inside the terminal, passengers have access to a variety of amenities and services. Dining options include several snack bars, tea and coffee counters, and a restaurant, while retail stalls offer local handloom products and Assamese handicrafts. Practical services such as free Wi-Fi for 30 minutes, ATMs, medical facilities, and a dedicated child care room are also available. The airport is well-served by major Indian carriers like IndiGo, Air India, and Vistara, providing frequent connections to metropolitan hubs such as Delhi and Kolkata. For onward travel, general taxi services and car rentals are readily available outside the arrivals hall, with the city center located approximately 15 kilometers away.
