IndiGo strengthens connectivity with Sri Lanka: Announces new direct flights

IndiGo Flight Tickets Now Bookable Through WhatsApp

IndiGo, India’s favoured airline, has announced additional direct flights between Mumbai and Colombo beginning April 12, 2024.

These flights, scheduled three times per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, would improve connectivity between India’s financial centre. Mumbai is also the capital of Sri Lanka. Mumbai now ranks fourth in India for direct connectivity to Colombo, following Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai.

Over 2,500 years of intellectual, cultural, religious, and commercial ties bind India and Sri Lanka together. Colombo is a thriving centre for travel and business. The city provides convenient access to the island nation and is well-connected to the international airport. The city of Colombo itself is a study in contrasts, with both colonial-era architecture and contemporary skyscrapers.

Numerous historical and cultural sites, such as the National Museum and the Gangaramaya Temple, are open for exploration by tourists. For culinary adventure lovers, Colombo’s diverse food scene offers a tempting array of flavours, from spicy curries to fresh seafood.

Customers can reserve tickets through mobile app or official website, www.goIndiGo.in, if they would want to organise their trip. The addition of these flights will improve the airline’s global connection even more.
