This means customers should be able to travel by air, easily and affordably, between all the cities and towns across the country. Hence, we plan to open seven more stations on our network which include Leh, Darbhanga, Agra, Kurnool, Bareilly, Durgapur and Rajkot. Operating in these stations will boost economic growth in these regions, while providing access to our customers to the safest mode of transportation, as Tier II cities lead growth and recovery for the nation.”

IndiGo will secure all regulatory approvals and specific flight schedules will be announced as these approvals are received. IndiGo currently connects 61 domestic stations and addition of these new cities will take the overall number of domestic destinations in the 6E network to 68.
