Get ready to experience the beauty of Mauritius with ease! India’s largest airline, IndiGo, is making travel dreams a reality by launching direct flights from Bengaluru to Mauritius, commencing on November 19, 2024. IndiGo becomes the first airline to offer this direct connection, significantly enhancing air connectivity between India and Mauritius.
IndiGo will operate four weekly flights, linking Bengaluru, India’s tech hub, with Mauritius, a key gateway to East Africa. This expansion signifies IndiGo’s commitment to bolstering its international presence, with Mauritius marking its 35th international destination and 123rd overall. The introduction of these flights is expected to stimulate tourism, trade, and business exchanges between the two nations, fostering a stronger economic bond.
The new route between Bengaluru and Mauritius holds immense potential for business growth. Bengaluru, often referred to as India’s Silicon Valley, is home to a burgeoning tech and business community. Mauritius, on the other hand, is recognized for its tourism prowess, business-friendly policies, and strategic location as a trade hub for the African continent. This route opens up opportunities for Indian investors, especially in sectors like healthcare, education, and technology, as Mauritius serves as a crucial link for Indian companies aiming to expand into African markets.
The new air route will provide Indian businesses with enhanced access to Mauritius and neighboring regions, fostering deeper business relationships and unlocking new opportunities. Mauritius welcomes Indian citizens with visa-on-arrival, simplifying travel for both business and leisure travelers. IndiGo’s direct connection positions itself as a catalyst for trade and investment between the two countries.
Mr. Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales at IndiGo, expressed his excitement about the new route, stating, “We are delighted to add another stunning beach destination, Mauritius, to our growing international network. With four flights a week from Bengaluru to Mauritius, this direct flight will shorten travel time, bringing added convenience to our passengers. With easy norms such as visa-on-arrival for Indian citizens, this new route opens exciting opportunities for leisure as well as business travelers. As we continue to expand our global footprint, our focus remains firmly on delivering on-time performance, affordability, and a hassle-free experience, ensuring IndiGo remains the preferred choice for travel.”
