New Delhi, Feb 25 (UNI) IndiGo will introduce new direct flights from Navi Mumbai International Airport to six domestic destinations: Ahmedabad, Diu, Goa, Rajkot, Belgaum, and Kolhapur, starting March 29.
In an official statement, the airline said it will operate these routes using ATR aircraft to boost regional connectivity and expand its presence at Navi Mumbai International Airport.
“The move is expected to provide passengers with better travel options between major metro hubs and tier-2 and tier-3 cities,” the release read.
The airline stated that the new routes form part of its expansion roadmap for Navi Mumbai International Airport, aimed at delivering seamless connectivity backed by passenger-friendly timings.
By expanding its ATR network, IndiGo seeks to promote tourism, stimulate regional economies, and enable quicker connectivity between smaller cities and major urban hubs.
This development is a crucial step toward positioning Navi Mumbai International Airport as a key aviation center, easing pressure on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport while improving the overall travel experience. The airport was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 8, last year and commenced commercial flight operations on December 25.
Earlier this month, IndiGo said it would temporarily revise its long-haul international schedule due to external factors affecting its widebody fleet operations.
According to the airline, changing airspace curbs linked to geopolitical developments, coupled with airport congestion both in India and abroad, have led to extended flight durations and operational scheduling challenges.
IndiGo has announced the suspension of its Copenhagen flights effective February 17 until further notice.
Additionally, it will cut back services on the Delhi-Manchester and Delhi-London Heathrow Airport sectors to improve operational reliability and limit passenger inconvenience.
The airline stated that the impacted travellers are being contacted and offered rebooking options, refunds, or compensation as per applicable regulations.
The airline said its widebody services, initiated in March 2025 through a damp lease pact with Norse Atlantic Airways, serve as an interim solution until the arrival of its Airbus A350-900 fleet from 2028.
The airline stressed that the changes are intended to preserve operational stability as it closely monitors global developments and recalibrates its international network accordingly.
