In a major boost to international air connectivity from the Tricity area, IndiGo airlines has announced the launch of a daily direct flight from Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport to Abu Dhabi, starting on May 15. This new service is aimed at strengthening the links between Chandigarh and the vibrant capital city of the United Arab Emirates.

The inaugural flight is scheduled to depart from Abu Dhabi at 10:15 PM on May 15 and will arrive in Chandigarh at 3:30 AM IST on May 16. The return flight from Chandigarh will take off at 2:45 AM IST on May 16, reaching Abu Dhabi at 5:15 AM local time, following a four-hour journey.

This new route not only facilitates travel between Chandigarh and Abu Dhabi but also opens up numerous possibilities for economic, cultural, and tourism exchanges between the two regions. IndiGo’s decision to introduce this flight is part of their ongoing strategy to expand their network and provide greater connectivity to their customers.

The direct flight is expected to be particularly beneficial for business travelers and tourists, offering them a convenient and time-saving option. It also enhances the accessibility to the UAE, encouraging more visits and potentially increasing tourism and business-related activities.

Travelers can start booking their flights online through IndiGo’s official website or other travel booking platforms. Early bookings are recommended due to the anticipated high demand for these direct flights.

This initiative is welcomed by local authorities and the business community alike, as it promises to boost the local economy and provide a more connected aviation network to the residents of Chandigarh and the surrounding areas. As the region prepares to host this new service, Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport is making all necessary arrangements to accommodate the increased passenger flow and ensure a smooth and efficient service.
