IndiGo to launch daily Thiruvananthapuram-Dubai flights from March

Budget carrier IndiGo will launch daily flights on the Thiruvananthapuram-Dubai route from March 1 this year.

"We are introducing the flight considering the strong trade and tourism ties between the southern region of India and Dubai and the requirement of travellers for a low-fare Indian airline in the sector," IndiGo President Aditya Ghosh said.

The airline would be offering an introductory all-inclusive return fare of Rs 11,998 on the new non-stop flight.

A second daily and non-stop flight between Mumbai and Dubai is also being launched.

IndiGo is positioned as the fastest growing airline in India with 61 brand new Airbus A 320-Es and is operating 377 daily flights connecting 33 destinations, Ghosh said.

The Thiruvananthapuram-Dubai flight would leave at 1820 hrs and reach Dubai at 2115 hrs. In the return trip, it would leave Dubai at 1125 hrs and reach Thiruvananthapuram at 1715 hrs, a release from the company said.
