TTU: Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), operated by the GMR Group, has partnered with FlixBus to introduce a new public transport service. The service connects Delhi Airport with Noida and Greater Noida. It is the first of its kind in India and is expected to begin operations within days.
The aim of this initiative is to improve airport connectivity. It gives passengers an affordable and reliable option apart from private cars and cabs. The service also promotes sustainable travel.
Why the Delhi Airport FlixBus Service Matters

The new bus service is expected to increase that number. It gives air travellers a 24×7 option that is safe, convenient and cost-effective. Fares start at ₹199, making it one of the most economical ways to reach Noida and Greater Noida from the airport.
