Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday (February 20, 2026) said the new terminal of the Guwahati airport will commence operations from February 22, 2026.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had inaugurated the new terminal of the Lokpriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport (LGBIA) on December 20, 2025.
''From an open space to a world-class gateway in just a few years, this transformation reflects a clear vision for a more connected and confident Assam,'' Mr. Sarma said in a post on X.
''Inaugurated by Adarniya Shri @narendramodi ji, the @GuwahatiAirport opens its doors to the world from Feb. 22,'' he said.
Domestic and international flights are likely to operate from the new terminal in Guwahati airport by March, while the old terminal will be converted into a cargo hub, an official said.
