Agartala, 24th August 2025: An IndiGo flight from Dibrugarh to Guwahati carrying Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was diverted to Agartala’s Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) Airport on Saturday after adverse weather disrupted flight operations in Guwahati.
Airport officials confirmed that the aircraft landed safely in Agartala after being unable to proceed to Guwahati. On receiving the news, Tripura Transport Minister Sushanta Chowdhury rushed to the airport to meet the Assam Chief Minister.
“When I got the news that the Guwahati-bound flight of Hon’ble Assam Chief Minister Shri Himanta Biswa Sarma Ji had to make an emergency landing at Agartala Airport due to bad weather, I rushed to the airport and spent some time with him,” Chowdhury said.
Flight services at Guwahati were affected for some time because of the inclement weather.
