Indigo, Vistara have received DGCA approval for two international routes

Indigo and Vistara have been granted permission to operate two new international routes.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has approved Indigo’s Delhi-Tbilisi (Georgia) and Vistara’s Delhi-Bali routes. These routes will begin operations on August 7 and August 1, 2023, respectively. The additional routes are part of the airline companies’ aspirations for growth. Air travel, both domestic and international, has increased since the pandemic, owing in part to pent-up demand. Passengers carried by Indian domestic airlines during January-May 2023 were 636.07 lakhs, as against 467.37 lakhs during the corresponding period of 2022, Directorate General of Civil Aviation data showed.
In the month of May, 132.14 lakh passengers were carried by Indian domestic airlines. They registered an annual growth of 36.10 per cent and monthly growth of 15.24 per cent.
