IndiGo’s foray into new regions follows its entry into Europe with direct flights to Istanbul in 2019. The airline also plans to connect North America through its tie-up with Turkish Airlines with a one-stop in Istanbul. In Central Asia, IndiGo will connect Tashkent in Uzbekistan and Almaty in Kazakhstan with Delhi from September. Moreover, travellers will find fares more affordable on these direct flights and the demand for these routes will certainly be good,” said Gaurav Patwari, Vice President, Air, Cleartrip.
