Fujairah airport connects daily with Mumbai, Kannur via IndiGo

WAM

Indian airline IndiGo will launch two direct daily flights connecting Fujairah with Mumbai and Kannur, starting May 15.

This move marks a significant boost in connectivity between the UAE and India—making travel easier for tourists, business travellers and residents alike.

Fujairah Airport's General Manager Captain Esmail Al Baloushi called the partnership a milestone in the emirate's growth as a travel hub, saying it opens up more options and supports local tourism and business.

IndiGo’s Head of Global Sales, Vinay Malhotra, echoed that sentiment, highlighting Fujairah as a "hidden gem" in the UAE.

He noted that this marks the airline’s 41st international destination—and its fifth in the UAE—adding to a growing regional presence that already includes Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah.
