SHILLONG, July 3: Indigo Airlines has resumed its Shillong-Kolkata flight after a long break due to COVID-19.
A Shillong Airport official said Indigo started its services from July 1 and are operating flights on the Kolkata-Shillong-Silchar and Kolkata-Shillong-Agartala routes.
On Saturday, the airline operated a flight each on the Kolkata and Agartala sectors in adherence to COVID protocols.
