Good news for air passengers worldwide. The 2025 Winter Flight Schedule has been notified, with around 6% flights added this time. The new flight schedule will come into effect from October 26, 2025, to March 28, 2026. As per the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), 26,495 flights will operate weekly this season, while last year it was 25,007. This implies that the passengers will have more flight choices, improved route connectivity, and quicker travel services.
Four new airports have been included in the winter schedule of this year: Amravati (Maharashtra), Hissar (Haryana), Purnia (Bihar), and Rupsi (Assam). These airports will have regular flights, and passengers can now travel on new routes. However, flights from some airports have been temporarily suspended, including Aligarh, Moradabad, Chitrakoot, Bhavnagar, Ludhiana, Pakyong, and Shravasti. In total, flights will operate from 126 airports this year, compared to 129 in the summer schedule 2025.
The DGCA states that the increased number of flights will help control ticket prices and provide greater flexibility in flight timings and options. Winter typically sees an increase in air traffic, as it coincides with the holiday and festival season. In response, airlines have expanded their flights to meet the growing passenger demand and provide better service. This new schedule will bring significant relief to smaller cities and enhance connectivity to the eastern and northeastern regions of the country.
