FUJAIRAH, 13 days ago
IndiGo, one of the fastest-growing airlines in India, has announced plans to launch daily flights to the northern emirate of Fujairah from Mumbai, the country's commercial capital and Kannur, a major city in the southern state of Kerala, starting from May.
The airline’s expansion into Fujairah Airport is set to offer passengers an improved travel experience with excellent customer service, modern aircraft, and timely schedules.
Welcoming the daily flights, Fujairah International Airport said this partnership with Indigo marks a significant milestone in strengthening the ties between the emirate and India, offering travellers more travel options and easier access to new destinations, with a strong commitment to punctuality and well-organised flight schedules.
Beyond regional connectivity, the introduction of these destinations is set to provide a major boost to Fujairah’s tourism and business sectors, it stated.
With more international visitors passing through Fujairah airport, they will have the opportunity to discover the region’s natural beauty and exceptional tourist attractions, contributing to the local economy and enhancing the region's appeal as both a tourist and economic hub.
This partnership will significantly improve connectivity between UAE and India, offering more choices for travellers looking to visit family, friends, or business partners.
The addition of these daily flights comes at a perfect time, as both Mumbai and Kannur are in high demand among residents and tourists alike, said a top official.
“We are thrilled to welcome IndiGo to Fujairah International Airport,” remarked Captain Esmail Al Baloushi, General Manager of Fujairah International Airport.
“This partnership enhances our mission to offer passengers more travel options while improving the connectivity of Fujairah with key destinations in India. We believe this will further cement Fujairah’s position as a preferred gateway for both international and regional travellers, while also giving a significant boost to the local tourism industry,” he stated.
Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales at IndiGo, said, “We are pleased to announce the launch of daily direct flights from Mumbai and Kannur to Fujairah, a hidden gem in the UAE that's rich in natural beauty and economic potential."
"As our 41st international destination and fifth in the UAE (we already fly to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah & Sharjah), Fujairah offers a unique blend of mountainous landscapes and a thriving coastline on the Gulf of Oman. With its growing importance in trade, logistics, and tourism, we're confident that these new flights will further enhance regional connectivity," he stated.
"At IndiGo, we're committed to providing convenient, affordable, and seamless travel experiences that bring people and businesses closer together," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
