## Description

Tea is the commodity that defines Dibrugarh Airport (IATA: DIB, ICAO: VEMN): the field at Mohanbari sits amid the estates of Upper Assam, about 16 km from the town that ranks as India's largest tea-exporting centre. It handled 822,437 passengers in FY2024/25, making it the fourth-busiest airport in northeast India, and roughly 1,091 tonnes of cargo in FY2025/26, some 14 per cent more than the year before. That freight moves as belly load through the Airports Authority of India passenger terminal — DIB is one of the AAI airports where all airlines carry cargo alongside passengers; there is no dedicated freighter operation and no separate cargo terminal. IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express link the airport with Kolkata, Delhi and Guwahati, plus seasonal Mumbai services, carrying tea, horticultural produce and spares for the region's oil and tea industries. A runway extension to about 2,290 metres was commissioned in March 2026, allowing heavier aircraft and therefore more belly capacity, following a 2023 parliamentary committee recommendation to develop DIB as a standard airport for tea, agriculture and horticulture transport. International and consolidated shipments still route via Kolkata (CCU), with Guwahati (GAU) as a regional step, fed by road along NH 27 or by rail.
