IndiGo to fly from Gorakhpur now, flight tickets start from Rs 3,199

Budget carrier IndiGo, which claims to be among the fastest growing low-cost carriers in the world, has announced eastern Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur district as its 57th destination. The Gorakhpur Lok Sabha seat has been continuously represented by Yogi Adityanath in Parliament, prior to becoming the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. Since the place has become very significant now, the airline has introduced a daily non-stop light between New Delhi and Gorakhpur starting at Rs 3,199. The new service will start from September 1, 2018, said an IndiGo statement.
 
Last month, the airline announced Surat as its 56th destination stating that it will operate flights connecting Surat with New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Jaipur from August 2018.
 
Gorakhpur will be the third city from Uttar Pradesh, after Lucknow and Varanasi to get connected through IndiGo. Flyers willing to plan their travel can book tickets through IndiGo's official website- goindigo.in.
