IndiGo will begin direct operations from Hindon to Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Indore, Kolkata, Mumbai, Patna and Varanasi from July 20, 2025. This is the second airport connecting the airline in the National Capital Region.

"Our expansion into Hindon is a strategic move offering an additional gateway for millions in the wider catchment area," Vinay Malhotra, head of global sales at IndiGo, said. "With over 70 weekly departures to eight key cities, our endeavour is to increase travel convenience, drive business mobility and foster economic growth."

"The ever-developing airport infrastructure in India allows us to provide convenient flight options and enhanced connections," Malhotra said.

The company intends this launch to bring more travel options and connectivity for residents of Ghaziabad, east Delhi and other parts of western Uttar Pradesh.

The company chose Hindon due its strategic location and proximity to major economic zones like Noida and East Delhi, which the firm said, serves as a crucial point for commerce and connectivity.

The region was also considered due to its industrial estates, educational institutions and growing residential areas.
