IndiGo is set to start direct flight service to six new destinations in Africa and Central Asia. The airline is looking to expand its international fleet as part of its massive expansion plan. 

IndiGo will connect Nairobi, Kenya and Jakarta, Indonesia, with direct flights from Mumbai in late July or early August, and Delhi will get connected in August to Tbilisi, Georgia & Baku, Azerbaijan, and in September to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and Almaty, Kazakhstan, the company said in a release.

Once the additional routes start, IndiGo will connect a total of 32 overseas locations, an increase from the current 26.

In August, IndiGo would also restore daily service from Delhi to Hong Kong, which had been halted three years prior owing to COVID-19.

These new flights will open up new possibilities for both business and holiday travellers seeking seamless connectivity.

IndiGo has a market share of more than 57% and has a fleet of over 300 planes as it operates 1,800 flights every day.
