Air India May Suspend Silchar–Kolkata Flight from June 1

Air India’s only daily flight between Silchar and Kolkata may be suspended from June 1, raising concerns in southern Assam. An internal airport note suggests operations will end on May 31. Political leaders including MP Parimal Suklabaidya, ex-MP Rajdeep Roy, and Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev opposed the move, citing the route’s importance. Locals fear fare hikes and loss of connectivity. Calls are growing for intervention by the Union Civil Aviation Minister.
