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.
