Sikkim gets its first ever airport in the small town of Pakyong Sunday September 23, 2018

The Pakyong Airport, one of the mega projects of the Sikkim government, was built at an estimated cost of Rs 600 crore

The flight connectivity will boost tourism in the state as travellers can now directly land in Sikkim instead of Bagdogra Airport and avoid almost a 120km journey by road

The Pakyong airport is reportedly India’s 100th functional airport.

Local tour operators and homestay owners expressed confidence that the move would encourage tourists who were keen on visiting Sikkim by air.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the airport on Sunday September 23, 2018 however, the commercial operation of flights will commence from the airport in the first week of October.
