With this new addition, passengers will have an additional choice of flights to reach their desired destination.

Speaking about the addition of this new flight, Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales at IndiGo said that over the years, the airline has witnessed increasing demand for UAE which has increased in the post-COVID pandemic in the country.
“We are extremely pleased to commence operations between the popular seaside destination of North Goa (MOPA Airport) and the majestic skyscraper-filled city of Abu Dhabi.
