Direct Flights

ITA Airways has inaugurated its first direct service between Mauritius and Rome Fiumicino, strengthening connectivity between Italy and Mauritius

The expansion reflects IndiGo’s growing footprint across the Middle East, where it now connects India to four major Saudi cities—Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, and Madinah

With its picturesque island destinations, the Philippines also aims to attract Indian filmmakers to set films there, Ambassador Josel F Ignacio noted

Direct flights to Jeddah will particularly meet demand for Umrah travel, while improved links to Riyadh and Kuwait will support VFR traffic and leisure travellers exploring Saudi Arabia’s growing tourism landscape

With Mumbai as India’s financial centre and London as a leading global financial hub, this non-stop route is expected to enhance trade and economic ties between the two nations

These additions will strengthen access between the capital and a mix of cultural, historical, and fast-growing regional centres. Bookings are now open via the airline’s website, mobile app, and major booking platforms

Centrum Air begins twice-weekly direct flights between Delhi and Tashkent, promising better connectivity and more travel opportunities between India and Uzbekistan

SpiceJet will start daily direct flights from Delhi and Mumbai to Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, known for beaches, culture and nightlife

As part of its ‘Tales of India’ initiative celebrating the country’s diverse art and culture, the new Boeing 737‑8 deployed to operate the inaugural Dehradun flight features a livery inspired by ‘Aipan’

The commencement of IndiGo’s service on this route will also mark the inauguration of Purnea airport, underscoring the airline’s commitment to enhancing connectivity to Tier‑II and Tier‑III cities
