IndiGo will operate seven‑day‑a‑week services from Ranchi’s Birsa Munda Airport to Bhubaneswar, Ahmedabad, Patna and Chennai, easing travel during the festive season.
IndiGo announced that it will run daily flights from Ranchi’s Birsa Munda Airport to four major metros – Bhubaneswar, Ahmedabad, Patna and Chennai – starting immediately. The airline said the new schedule will see aircraft operating every day of the week, a first for these routes from Ranchi.
The move comes as the country heads into the festive period, when demand for air travel traditionally spikes. By offering seven‑day connectivity, IndiGo aims to provide passengers from Jharkhand and neighboring regions with more flexible options to reach key business and cultural hubs.
Industry observers note that expanding services from Ranchi strengthens the city’s role as a regional gateway. IndiGo’s decision aligns with its broader strategy of increasing frequency on high‑potential routes, and it is expected to boost passenger footfall at Birsa Munda Airport during the upcoming holiday season.
