IndiGo airline has announced direct flights between Mumbai and Adampur, Jalandhar starting from July 2, 2025. This flight to Adampur will mark IndiGo’s 92nd domestic flight and 133rd overall destination, further strengthening the domestic network of the flight.
This new route is anticipated to improve connectivity between Punjab and Mumbai, in order to boost trade opportunities. This survival will strategically improve both business and tourism opportunities. Vinay Malhotra, IndiGo’s head of Global Sales, said, “As Adampur becomes our 55th domestic and 77th overall destination from Mumbai, the new route will boost connectivity and economic opportunities. We will continue to enhance our domestic network, catering to the rising demand for air travel in the region."
Adampur Airport is situated between Jalandhar and Hoshiarpur in Punjab, which was developed to provide commercial operations and regional development. The airport is close to the National Highway 3 (NH-3). The Airport Authority of India (AAI) has constructed a passenger terminal to support commercial civil aviation. Under the government’s UDAN Scheme, commercial flights at Adapur started from May 1, 2018. Since then the airport has noted a significant rise in passenger traffic with 35,220 passengers commuting between April 2024 and March 2025.
This new route is part of IndiGo’s vision of strategically expanding its domestic and international network. Additionally IndiGo plans to increase four more domestic destinations to its network, increasing the number of destinations from 91 to 95.
IndiGo is the first airline to begin operation of flights between Navi Mumbai International Airport and Noida International Airport, increasing the connectivity across India.
Starting from July 2025, IndiGo will be launching direct flights from Mumbai to Manchester and Amsterdam, with the leased Boeing 787-9 aircraft and the services to the UK cities will also mark the airline's long haul debut, reported PTI. Along with these new routes, IndiGo will also be serving hot meals for the first time on some selective international routes.
Elbers asserted that currently 55 percent of international flights are being managed by foreign carriers, with only 45 percent operated by Indian airlines. IndiGo’s expansion in direct and long-haul routes aims to shift this balance and offer Indian travelers more options with domestic carriers. The CEO also highlights the airline’s efforts of providing equality and supporting gender neutrality with about 15 percent of its pilots being women, which is highest compared to other global airlines.
