IndiGo has announced direct flights to Mauritius from Bengaluru, starting November 19, 2024. IndiGo will be the first airline to start operations on this route, through four weekly direct flights, enhancing connectivity between the two countries. Mauritius will be IndiGo's 35th international and 123rd overall destination, demonstrating the airline's dedication to enhancing connectivity for both leisure and business travellers.
With the launch of the new destination, the airline will not only meet the growing demand for tourism but will also serve as a vital enabler of trade, investment, and business partnerships between India and East Africa.
