IndiGo recently launched daily direct flights from Delhi and Mumbai to and from Doha.
IndiGo, India’s largest and fastest growing low-cost carrier, commenced its operations in Doha on Friday. Doha became its 7th international and 4th Middle-Eastern destination after Sharjah, Muscat and Dubai.
IndiGo ventured into the Middle East in the year 2011 with the launch of Dubai and Muscat as its first international destinations.
From three daily flights in 2011, IndiGo has established itself as a preferred carrier on India - Middle East routes with increased capacities and compelling fares on Sharjah, Muscat and Dubai sectors over the years. It operates 21 daily flights to the Middle East region as of today thus providing enhanced connectivity for both business and leisure travellers.
Expanding their reach IndiGo will start direct flights from Chennai and Kozhikode to Doha from July 20 this year.
Continuing to strengthen operations in the region, IndiGo recently launched daily direct flights from Delhi and Mumbai to and from Doha, which not only helps the airline cater to the growing tourist potential of the city, but also provides an affordable travel option to the Indian diaspora workforce who can now look forward to visiting their homes more frequently.
With growing business and tourism between India and Middle East, IndiGo continues to offer affordable fares and superior travel experience to all those who wish to fly these destinations.
IndiGo enjoys a load factor of over 87.32% per cent on all flights departing from Dubai and over 90.76% per cent for flights arriving in Dubai (from January till March 2017), about 59.73% per cent on all flights departing from Muscat and about 70.52% per cent for flights arriving in Muscat and has seen a good response on the Sharjah sector with 87.43% per cent load factor as of April 2017.
Consistent with its domestic strategy, IndiGo’s international strategy also revolves around the basic principles of the LCC business model, including point-to-point traffic. In 2017 and years to come, IndiGo will continue to expand to high-demand cities between India and abroad including Middle East to provide convenient travel options for business and leisure travellers.
