Travel agencies from the South Asian country claimed on Wednesday that more and more Indian tourists are choosing to travel to the Middle East after India's largest airline, IndiGo, recently announced additional routes to the area.
Last Friday, two new direct flights from Ahmedabad to Jeddah and Abu Dhabi were introduced by IndiGo, which commands around 58 percent of the domestic market in India.
The carrier said it aims to “expand travel connections and fortify ties between India and the Middle East.”
“As part of our commitment to enhancing accessibility and bridging India with international markets, we are thrilled to announce the commencement of flights between Ahmedabad and two prominent Middle Eastern cities, Abu Dhabi as well as Jeddah,” IndiGo head of global sales, Vinay Malhotra, said in a statement.
The Middle East has increasingly become the choice destination for many Indian travelers, travel agents said.
Middle East countries, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, have also been heavily promoting their tourist attractions, such as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, prompting airlines to add more flights serving these routes.
