Ghaziabad News: The Airport Authority of India (AAI) has launched a new direct flight service from Hindon Airport (Ghaziabad) to Nanded (Maharashtra), creating a crucial air link between North India and South Maharashtra. This development is being seen as a major step towards improving religious tourism, cultural exchange, and regional economic growth.
Easier Access to Hazur Sahib Gurudwara
The biggest beneficiaries of this new route are devotees traveling from Delhi-NCR and nearby states to Gurudwara Hazur Sahib in Nanded, one of the holiest sites in Sikhism. The flight significantly reduces travel time and offers a convenient alternative to lengthy train or road journeys. Pilgrims from Punjab, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana can now reach the shrine with ease.
Cultural & Tourism Growth
Apart from religious travel, the route is also expected to encourage cultural tourism. Nanded, rich in history and spirituality, is home to several Maharashtra heritage sites. Improved air connectivity will allow tourists to explore the Marathwada region more conveniently, fostering greater cultural exchange between North and South India.
Economic and Business Impact
The Hindon–Nanded flight is not just about tourism—it also holds significant economic potential. The Marathwada region is growing as a hub for education, industry, and trade. Direct flights will enable faster business travel, better educational collaborations, and stronger commercial links between Uttar Pradesh, Delhi-NCR, and Maharashtra.
Hindon Airport: Emerging Aviation Hub
Hindon Airport, located near Delhi, is steadily becoming an important aviation hub for North India. With this new route, Hindon strengthens its role as a gateway for spiritual, cultural, and economic connectivity. The initiative also aligns with Uttar Pradesh’s vision of building world-class aviation infrastructure.
