Guess what’s making travel dreams come true for UAE residents? IndiGo, the airline that’s basically the ‘go-to’ for low-cost flying, is making things way easier by launching direct flights from Abu Dhabi to two fabulous destinations in India – Visakhapatnam and Bhubaneswar! Starting June 2025, your wanderlust just got a little more accessible. Hello, direct flights!
Discover Visakhapatnam: Beaches, Industry & More
Visakhapatnam (aka Vizag) and Bhubaneswar might not always steal the spotlight when you think of Indian travel hotspots, but trust me, they’ve got some serious charm up their sleeves. First stop: Visakhapatnam. This stunning port city on India’s east coast isn’t just about beaches – although, let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good beach day?

With growing industries and scenic views, Visakhapatnam is quickly becoming a major hub for business and tourism. And now, thanks to IndiGo, you can skip all the layovers and jump straight to the good stuff.
Bhubaneswar: A Spiritual and Cultural Haven
Next up, we’ve got Bhubaneswar, the temple capital of Odisha. Full of ancient temples, rich culture, and buzzing with urban growth, Bhubaneswar is your one-stop-shop for a spiritual escape and a deep dive into history. Plus, the fact that you can now get there directly from Abu Dhabi makes it an absolute no-brainer for both business and pleasure.

Why Direct Flights Matter
As if these destinations weren’t already tempting enough, the timing couldn’t be better. With flights running three times a week between Abu Dhabi and Bhubaneswar starting June 12, and four times a week between Abu Dhabi and Visakhapatnam starting June 13, there’s no excuse for not planning that long-overdue family visit or the getaway you’ve been putting off. But wait, there’s more – this isn’t just about tourists. With a huge Indian expatriate community in the UAE, these flights are a game-changer for those wanting to stay connected with family, friends, and all those home-cooked meals that are just a little better than anything you get here.
Strengthening Regional Ties & Economic Growth

IndiGo’s big move is part of their larger plan to expand their international network. With over 100 weekly flights connecting Abu Dhabi to 15 cities across India (and 275 weekly flights to the UAE in total), the airline is making it easier than ever to hop between the UAE and India. And let’s not forget – this connectivity is a win-win for both tourism and business growth, especially with the UAE government aiming to improve regional ties and economic growth through better travel infrastructure.
