March 09, Colombo (LNW): IndiGo Airlines has unveiled plans to commence daily direct flights between Tiruchirappalli in India and Jaffna in Sri Lanka, with the new service set to begin on March 30, 2025.
This new route has been introduced in response to increasing demand for better connectivity between South India and Sri Lanka’s northern region, particularly Jaffna, which has witnessed growing interest from both business and leisure travellers.
The daily flights will offer passengers a convenient and efficient travel option, reducing travel time and enhancing the overall accessibility between these two vibrant regions.
The new service is expected to play a pivotal role in strengthening bilateral ties, fostering economic collaboration, and promoting cultural exchange between the Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka.
Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales at IndiGo, expressed his enthusiasm for the launch, noting that the new route is a natural extension of the airline’s successful Chennai-Jaffna service.
He highlighted the airline’s commitment to expanding its network in the region, aiming to provide even greater travel options to passengers. “We are excited to further enhance connectivity between India and Sri Lanka. This new service will not only support tourism and business but also contribute to deeper cultural ties,” Malhotra remarked.
In addition to this new route, IndiGo has also announced that it will be operating more than 60 weekly flights to Sri Lanka from various Indian cities, including Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Tiruchirappalli.
