IndiGo will add flights to Bangkok, Dubai

IndiGo will launch a Chandigarh-Dubai flight and plans to resume a Delhi-Bangkok service later this year. This could be the first international flight from Chandigarh, following a litigation in the state high court over lack of international flights from the Punjab capital. In January, the airline had filed a schedule to launch a Delhi-Doha flight but later withdrew. IndiGo has followed a strategy of maximising frequencies at existing destinations, instead of opening up too many destinations within India. It is following the same strategy on international routes and so, the coming months could see the airline add more flights to its existing international destinations. “The focus will not change,” said a source. The other important aspect will be improved fleet utilisation and route profitability, the source added. <br/>
