New direct flights connecting many Indian and Middle Eastern locations have been announced by IndiGo. Among the recently launched routes are those between Bengaluru and Dubai, Kochi and Bahrain, Lucknow and Dammam beginning on June 1, and Ahmedabad and Jeddah beginning on August 11, 2023. Due to the increased demand for travel to the Middle East from India during the summer, the airline has also announced seasonal extra flights between Chennai and Dammam and Kochi and Dammam. The only airline to offer daily direct service between Kochi-Dammam, Lucknow-Dammam, Chennai-Dammam, and Ahmedabad-Jeddah, IndiGo will be the first airline in India to fly flights between Bengaluru-Dubai and Kochi-Bahrain.
At the moment, IndiGo connects travellers to 11 Middle Eastern cities, including Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dammam, Doha, Dubai, Jeddah, Kuwait, Ras Al Khaimah, Riyadh, Sharjah, and Muscat. During the summer vacations, the addition of these extra flights will increase capacity and improve accessibility for travellers going to and coming from the Middle East.
Speaking on this, Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales, IndiGo said, “At IndiGo, we are excited to meet the growing demand for travel between India & the Middle East, especially during summers. These new direct connections will not only offer hassle-free and affordable options for travel between the cities, but also considerably reduce the travel time. The Middle East, with its rich culture, delectable cuisine, and abundant oil reserves, is now more accessible than ever before to corporates, traders, tourists as well as those visiting friends & family. We remain committed to providing our customers with courteous, on-time, and affordable travel experiences, and will continue to explore new flight options.”
