Guwahati: Newly launched airline flybig has entered into an agreement with IRCTC to facilitate travellers to book tickets for any of its northeast destinations through the latter’s ‘Air’ platform, an official said on Friday.

The pact will allow the passengers to book their travel tickets to any NE flybig destination through the IRCTC portal, which will help in boosting tourism in the region, he said.

“The partnership is launched in line with ‘Dekho Apna Desh’ to promote NE sectors’ flora, fauna and culture.

“Lilabari (in Assam’s Lakimpur district) is our new sector to be launched on October 31,” the official said.
