The
airline was the first Indian carrier to connect India to Istanbul in
Turkey, Chengdu in China and Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam while
foraying into countries
like Saudi Arabia (Riyadh) and Myanmar (Yangon). IndiGo further
enhanced point to point connectivity through the length and breadth of
the country by announcing multiple domestic connections. Kannur was
connected to Bengaluru, Kochi, Goa, Hubli, Chennai and
Thiruvananthapuram; Kolhapur was connected to Hyderabad and Tirupati;
and Bhopal was connected to four metro cities including Delhi, Mumbai,
Bengaluru and Hyderabad, amongst other destinations.
IndiGo’s
expansion in domestic and international skies has enabled Indian
travellers to not only travel affordably within India, but also to new
exotic destinations like Vietnam, Myanmar and China. The airline
established a robust network connecting the Buddhist circuit in India
with key Buddhist communities in China, Vietnam and Myanmar, creating a
South Asian Buddhist circuit with Kolkata as the gateway city. These new
flights will enhance point-to-point connectivity
as well as growth of domestic, inbound and outbound air traffic,
promoting economic growth and social cohesion.
Speaking on the subject,
Mr. Ronojoy Dutta, CEO, IndiGo said, “We are very pleased to be
the first Indian airline to touch 1500 daily departures, with one flight
taking off every minute. The simple philosophy of offering low fares
and on-time, courteous, hassle-free service
has been the foundation of IndiGo’s growth and unparalleled network in
India. Flying over 2,50,000 customers every day, we are on a mission to
promote trade, tourism and economic growth by increasing mobility and
accessibility across the length and breadth
of the country”.
Mr. Dutta further added,
“2019 has been an eventful year with many new partnerships, orders
and milestones. We are optimistic about 2020, and our endeavour will be
to build focus cities and traffic corridors that connect India to the
world”.
