Direct flights from Jaipur to Bhutan and Vietnam to begin next month

Jaipur: Jaipur International Airport is set to introduce new international flight connections to Bhutan and Vietnam beginning next month, marking a significant expansion in the city’s air connectivity network.

According to the new winter flight schedule implemented on Sunday, Bhutan Airlines will start direct flights between Jaipur and Paro from November 13. The flight (B3-722/723) will operate once a week, every Thursday. Similarly, Vietnam Airlines will begin operations between Jaipur and Hanoi from November 17, with flights (VN-975/974) running three times a week — on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Airport officials said these additions will strengthen Jaipur’s international air links and provide passengers with new options for travel across Southeast Asia. The new routes are expected to boost tourism and business exchanges, offering travelers a direct connection to destinations that previously required transits through Delhi or Kolkata.

In addition to the new international services, Jaipur Airport is also set to enhance domestic connectivity under the winter schedule. New flights have been proposed for Jamnagar, Jodhpur, Hisar, Nagpur, Hindon (Ghaziabad), Navi Mumbai, and Jewar (Noida).

Two new domestic routes will begin soon — Jaipur to Hisar from November 1, and Jaipur to Navi Mumbai from January 1, 2026. Operations for Jewar Airport and Navi Mumbai Airport routes may also commence by December, pending final clearances.

Officials said the new network expansion will strengthen Jaipur’s role as a key aviation hub in northern India, improving accessibility both within the country and to international destinations in the region.
