DELHI, 16 October 2025: IndiGo, a leading low-cost airline in India, will launch direct flights between Vijayawada and Singapore starting 15 November 2025.
The international route will be served by IndiGo’s Airbus A320 aircraft, operating three times weekly and marks a significant milestone in enhancing international connectivity from Andhra Pradesh.
As Vijayawada continues to establish itself as a commercial and cultural hub, the route to Singapore will support the expansion of trade, tourism, and investment opportunities between the region and Southeast Asia.
With Singapore serving as a vital gateway to Asia and beyond, the launch of these flights will offer travellers from Vijayawada convenient access to explore global destinations, pursue international business and educational opportunities, and experience diverse cultures.
It also reflects IndiGo’s continued efforts to expand international connectivity from India, giving wings to India’s aspirations.
Bookings are now open on the IndiGo website, the airline’s mobile app, and through authorised travel partners.
Vijayawada plays a dual and significant role in both tourism and as a growing aviation hub, particularly for the state of Andhra Pradesh.
