Dhubri: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced during a Facebook live session that the state government plans to transform and upgrade Rupsi Airport into a communication hub for strategic areas of Assam.
Development Plans for Rupsi Airport
“We are discussing and planning with the experts to develop Rupsi Airport in the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) region into a communication hub that will cater to the needs of multiple logistics in the years to come,” Sarma said on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Yatri Subidha Divas (Passengers’ Convenience Day) was celebrated with various programmes at Rupsi Airport on Sunday. The initiatives aimed at enhancing passenger facilities, including a kids’ play zone, WiFi services, and a warm welcome for travellers.
Passenger Experience Enhancement
Kuntal Bhattacharjee, officer-in-charge of Rupsi Airport, told TOI that the airport staff regard passengers as God and feel happy to serve them with a smile. Providing a satisfying flight experience is their primary goal, he said.
“Currently, Alliance Air operates a flight from Rupsi Airport to limited cities like Kolkata and Guwahati. But there is a future plan to connect more cities in the northeast,” Bhattacharjee added.
