IndiGo Launches Daily Flights Between Abu Dhabi and Chandigarh

In a move to strengthen global connectivity, IndiGo, India’s largest passenger airline, has announced the launch of daily direct flights between Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Chandigarh, the capital city shared by Punjab and Haryana states in India.

This exciting new route, effective May 15, 2024, will provide passengers with a seamless and convenient travel option between these two vibrant destinations.

“We are thrilled to introduce direct flights connecting Abu Dhabi and Chandigarh,” said Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales at IndiGo. “This new route will offer increased travel options for our customers between the UAE and North India.”

Daily Flights and Enhanced Connectivity

The inaugural flight will depart from Abu Dhabi daily, bound for Chandigarh, with consistent frequency throughout the year. Effective May 15, 2024, the flight will take off at 22:15, reaching its destination at 3:30. Similarly, the return flight from Chandigarh to Abu Dhabi will commence on May 16, 2024.

Strengthening Ties Between Nations

IndiGo’s addition of this route reinforces its commitment to fostering travel, trade, tourism, and cultural exchange between India and the UAE. With this expansion, IndiGo now operates a total of 63 weekly flights to Abu Dhabi from 9 cities across India.

Expanding International Reach

The launch of the Abu Dhabi-Chandigarh route marks another significant step in IndiGo’s international expansion strategy. The airline is committed to providing passengers with unparalleled connectivity and travel experiences across its growing network.

Partnership with Malaysia Airlines

In a separate development earlier this month, IndiGo inked an initial pact with Malaysia Airlines to establish a codeshare partnership. This collaboration aims to enhance connectivity between India and Malaysia, offering passengers a wider array of travel options.

Under this partnership, Malaysia Airlines will serve as the marketing carrier on IndiGo-operated flights, thereby expanding its reach into the Indian market. In return, IndiGo passengers will gain access to Malaysia Airlines’ extensive network, opening up a plethora of Southeast Asia destinations.

Conclusion

IndiGo’s strategic expansions both domestically and internationally underscore its commitment to providing customers with unparalleled travel experiences while facilitating seamless connectivity between diverse destinations.
