Additionally, the Trichy-Muscat flight service will see an increase from two to three flights per week. These enhancements are part of a broader strategy to cater to the growing demand for air travel in this corridor.
Indigo Airlines to Launch Trichy-Abu Dhabi Route
Indigo Airlines is planning to introduce three weekly services between Trichy and Abu Dhabi, likely starting from the first week of April. This new route will further diversify the connectivity options available from Trichy International Airport.
Sources indicate that these additional services will provide cost-effective options for expatriates in the Gulf countries to travel back home, making air travel more accessible and affordable.
Requests for Enhanced Domestic and International Connectivity
