IndiGo, India’s preferred airline, has launched triweekly operations connecting North Goa (MOPA) to Abu Dhabi. The inaugural flight took off on September 2, 2023, from MOPA Airport, marking a significant milestone in bridging the gap between these two vibrant destinations. This strategic move by IndiGo aims to enhance global connectivity and cater to the increasing travel demand between Goa and the Middle East.
Connecting Two Destinations
IndiGo has been at the forefront of providing seamless connectivity between various Indian cities and Abu Dhabi, including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kochi, and Hyderabad. With the introduction of this new direct route, travellers now have even more options to access the cosmopolitan capital of the United Arab Emirates.
A Statement from IndiGo
Mr. Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales at IndiGo, expressed his enthusiasm about the new route, stating, “We are thrilled to commence operations between the beloved seaside destination of North Goa (Mopa Airport) and the majestic skyscraper-filled city of Abu Dhabi.
In recent years, we have witnessed a growing demand for travel to the UAE, a demand that has only intensified in the post-pandemic era. As India’s largest carrier, we are committed to meeting this demand by connecting these two prominent tourist hubs. With the addition of these flights, IndiGo will now operate 52 flights per week to Abu Dhabi from 8 major cities in India.
This move brings the UAE even closer and complements the flourishing trade and tourism industry. As we venture into new skies, connecting people to their desired destinations, we remain dedicated to delivering affordable, punctual, courteous, and hassle-free travel experiences across our extensive network.”
Abu Dhabi’s Allure
Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, is celebrated for its extravagant shopping centres, stunning architecture, and cultural landmarks such as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The new flights to Abu Dhabi open up access to attractions like Ferrari World, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Yas Island, and more. As a world-class destination, Abu Dhabi’s ambitious goal of attracting 24 million visitors by 2023 underscores its significance. IndiGo’s additional flights will provide travellers with an expanded range of entertainment and travel options in this vibrant city.
Goa’s Charms
Goa, one of India’s most sought-after tourist destinations, is renowned for its pristine beaches, lively nightlife, and a rich tapestry of cultural traditions influenced by Portuguese, Maharashtrian, and Konkani heritage. Visitors from across India and around the world flock to Goa to experience its beautiful beaches, colourful carnivals, historic churches, delectable cuisine, and iconic forts.
