IndiGo expands winter network in India

IndiGo confirmed that the new routes will begin operating from early winter 2025, with schedules designed to meet both holiday and business travel demand. The focus is particularly on linking cultural and tourism-rich destinations such as Jaisalmer.

Boosting tourism and regional growth

The inclusion of Jaisalmer in IndiGo’s new routes comes as a significant boost for the tourism industry in Rajasthan.

Similarly, Imphal in Manipur will benefit from better access to the rest of the country. The city, known for its cultural heritage and natural beauty, is likely to see higher tourism inflows as flight options expand.

Let’s take a look at how often IndiGo is set to offer flights to the two cities.
