IndiGo launches new routes from Chennai and Kochi to Dubai

• The Indian low-cost airline IndiGo continued expanding its network to Dubai (DXB) on 25 August, adding two routes from India to the UAE’s largest city. The airline now flies daily with its A320s from both Chennai (MAA) and Kochi (COK), located on opposing coasts in southern India. IndiGo now serves Dubai from five airports in total, already operating from Delhi and Mumbai as well as Hyderabad that was only launched two weeks ago. Competition on the Chennai route comes from Emirates thrice-daily and Air India’s also daily service, while the Kochi route is operated in competition with Emirates twice-daily flights and Air India Express’ three flights a week.
