One of the shortest commercial flights in India connects Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya, and Assam’s Guwahati, the gateway to the northeast. Even though it’s just 61 kilometres away, the flight takes around 20 minutes.
Travellers have a quick and easy way to get between these two Maharashtra cities because the flight only lasts about 25 minutes as the distance is 118 kilometres.
In about 30 minutes, the flight travels 150 kilometres between Jammu, the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir’s winter capital, and Srinagar, its summer capital.
Situated in the northeastern region of Assam, the flight from Silchar to Guwahati travels 182 kilometres in a mere 45 minutes.
Dibrugarh and Itanagar are the destinations of another short commercial flight in northeastern India. The trip takes about 50 minutes despite the relatively short distance of 136 kilometres.
Itanagar to Pasighat is one of the shortest commercial routes in the scenic state of Arunachal Pradesh. The flight takes around one hour to cover a distance of 202 kilometres.
