Shillong, Oct 25: In a tense turn of events, a Delhi-to-Shillong SpiceJet flight (SEJ2448) made an emergency landing at Guwahati’s Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International...
Guwahati's Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (LGBIA), managed by Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises, has reported a significant milestone in its international travel sector, with Bangkok emerging as the most popular overseas destination in the first quarter of 2024-25.
In a recent attempt to smuggle contraband via air travel, a foreign national was arrested from Guwahati Airport today with 36 pellets of cocaine concealed inside his stomach.
These foreign cigarettes are typically smuggled from Myanmar, entering India through various routes before being distributed across Guwahati and other parts of the country.
The cargo terminal is currently 550 square meters in area and a new plan is being initiated to build an international cargo terminal building in a very near future.
The airport witnessed nearly 3839 movements of flights in August 2023, which is 14% higher than the August 2022 figure. A passenger-centric approach has led to this growth.
