MUSCAT India’s budget carrier IndiGo will launch flights from the south Indian cities of Thiruvananthapuram, Cochin and Chennai by December, said IndiGo President Aditya Ghosh. It will launch its Muscat-Mumbai flight, with four flights a week, from October 10, with a promotional return fare of 88 rials.Announcing this at a press conference at Chedi Hotel on Wednesday, Ghosh said the move was part of its initiative to expand operations to international skies. Muscat will be the fourth international destination on IndiGo’s growing network.

The airline is committed towards providing affordable fares to the growing market of regular travellers in Oman and also increase daily flights in future. We are working with the concerned authorities to get additional rights to cater to the growing India-Oman traffic.
