IndiGo flight successfully tests lands at Itanagar

In an unannounced move, budget carrier IndiGo successfully test landed its aircraft at the newly-constructed Donyi Polo Airport, which is located at Itanagar, the capital of Arunachal Pradesh.

This is the new beginning of a new Arunachal, blessed with tourist spots where many international and domestic tourists can come. Itanagar’s nearest airport is North Lakhimpur in Assam and it is about 57 kilometres away. Tourists who are going to the state capital have to travel from North Lakhimpur airport.

Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh Pema Khandu took to twitter to share the news:

Glad to share @IndiGo6E flight made a successful test landing at Donyi Polo airport, Itanagar today.

A milestone moment as we're making every possible effort to ensure ease of travel in our state. Gratitude to all for contributing their bit to improve people's ease of life! pic.twitter.com/NTGjecPpUB
