Guwahati airport sees double-digit growth in Q1 FY25; 1.81 million passengers handled, new terminal on track

Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (LGBIA), Guwahati, has demonstrated a strong operational performance in the first quarter of the current financial year (April to June 2025), posting significant year-on-year growth in both aircraft movements and passenger traffic.

During the quarter under review, LGBIA handled 12,470 aircraft movements and 1.81 million passengers, both registering double-digit growth when compared with the same period last year.

LGBIA stated, “this performance reaffirms the airport's role as a critical aviation hub in Northeast India and reflects the increasing demand for air connectivity across the region. With continuous investments in infrastructure, technology, and passenger experience, LGBIA continues to support the region’s economic integration with the rest of the country and abroad.”

During the quarter under review, LGBIA handled 12,470 aircraft movements and 1.81 million passengers, both registering double-digit growth when compared with the same period last year.

The highest single-day passenger footfall was recorded on 10 April 2025, when 21,594 passengers passed through the terminal. The top three destinations by passenger volume remained consistent – Delhi, Kolkata, and Bengaluru – reaffirming strong interconnectivity with major metro cities.

Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had recently stated that the new terminal being constructed at the LGBIA Airport will also be completed in the last part of the current year. He also said that the LGBIA airport with its new terminal once fully operational will become an important centre of the gateway of Southeast Asian nations.
