IndiGo Launches Direct Flights from Mumbai & Kannur to Fujairah — Its 41st Global Destination

IndiGo Expands Global Footprint with New Fujairah Route

In a strategic move to boost its Middle East presence, IndiGo has officially launched direct flights from Mumbai and Kannur to Fujairah, the only emirate on the UAE’s eastern coastline. This marks IndiGo’s 41st international destination and its fifth city in the UAE, after Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah.

Known for its dramatic Hajar mountains, pristine beaches, and cultural richness, Fujairah is rapidly emerging as a top destination for both adventure and business travellers.

Why Fujairah Matters for B2B Travel Professionals

As travel consolidators and aviation planners seek fresh regional offerings, Fujairah stands out as a strategic gateway for:

• Adventure tourism — Home to the UAE’s first cross-emirate hiking and nature trail (in partnership with Ras Al Khaimah).

• Cultural exploration — Featuring heritage forts, souks, and archaeological sites.

• Trade and commerce — Strengthening India–UAE bilateral connectivity, especially for Tier-2 city departures.

 Seamless Travel Experience

What sets this route apart is coordinated travel planning. IndiGo has aligned its flight timings with intercity bus schedules, ensuring smooth transitions across the UAE—from Sharjah’s heritage sites to Dubai’s urban hubs to Fujairah’s tranquil coasts.

Industry Comment

“As our 41st international destination, Fujairah offers immense potential for trade, tourism, and business. This new route connects 20 Indian cities to the UAE with over 280 weekly flights.”
— Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales, IndiGo

B2B Takeaway

For travel agents, consolidators, and corporate travel managers:

• Highlight Fujairah as a cost-effective luxury escape

• Combine Dubai–Fujairah itineraries for dual-emirate experiences

• Tap into the growing VFR (Visiting Friends & Relatives) demand from Kerala

• Use Fujairah as an adventure tourism entry point for younger travellers

Final Thoughts

This launch strengthens India–UAE connectivity and signals growth in underutilised regional routes. With increasing interest in lesser-explored Emirates, now’s the time to offer new value propositions to clients.
