Dibrugarh Airport, officially known as Mohanbari Airport and coded DIB, serves the commercial hub of upper Assam situated in the heart of India's premier tea-growing region.

Travel tips

  • Dibrugarh's climate is humid and prone to fog in winter mornings (December–January), which can cause flight delays; check your flight status before heading to the airport.
  • Pre-book a taxi or arrange a hotel pickup in advance, as cab availability at the airport can be limited during late-night or early-morning arrivals.
  • Carry some cash as ATM availability beyond the airport is sparse on the Mohanbari road; the in-terminal ATM is your best option.
  • The best locally produced Assam CTC and Orthodox teas can be purchased at airport retail shops or at estate outlets in town — an unmissable souvenir.
  • If visiting Dibru-Saikhowa National Park, book permits and guides in advance through the Forest Department as entry is regulated.
  • Allow extra travel time if flying during the monsoon season (June–September), as roads to the airport can be affected by flooding.

Development: Airports Authority of India has undertaken modernisation works at Dibrugarh Airport including upgradation of the terminal and apron expansion to accommodate increased aircraft movements. The UDAN regional connectivity scheme has boosted new route additions to underserved northeastern cities, further enhancing the airport's regional significance.
