An Air India Express spokesperson said, “Our operations from Hindon commenced on 1st March 2025. We connect to 9 direct destinations from Hindon – Bengaluru, Bhubaneshwar, Chennai, Goa, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai, Patna and Varanasi. We have 47 departing flights weekly.”

In a statement, IndiGo said it had 40 weekly departures from Hindon and all operations were carried out using A320 aircraft. “IndiGo has daily flights between Hindon and Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata apart from six weekly flights from Hindon to Chennai and Patna.”

Among the key developments this year was the incorporation of the SITA network for its ticketing centre. Rapido and Buzzway cab operators are functioning while Ola and Uber cabs have recently been allocated parking bays here.

Increasing the parking slots for aircraft here would help improve the patronage further, Mahesh added. “We had another round of talks with Defence authorities last week. We require 34, 500 square meters of their land to increase our parking slots to six from the present two.”

AAI began operations at this airport, built at a cost of Rs 46.6 crore, from October 11, 2019, largely to facilitate UDAAN operations.
