Union Civil Aviation Minister Rammohan Naidu announced new flights from key towns in Andhra Pradesh. Starting June 13, IndiGo will operate four weekly flights, opening a new international route that links Visakhapatnam with the UAE’s capital Abu Dhabi. This service is expected to benefit the large Telugu diaspora and boost trade, tourism, and business opportunities between Andhra Pradesh and the Middle East.

From June 12, IndiGo will also launch flights connecting Visakhapatnam to Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha. This move is aimed at enhancing inter-state regional connectivity and fostering stronger cultural and economic ties between the two eastern states.

Air India Express will begin daily flight operations between Vijayawada and Bengaluru from June 2, creating a vital link between Andhra Pradesh’s capital region and India’s leading IT hub. “These developments are a testament to the leadership of PM Narendra Modi and CM Chandrababu Naidu,” Rammohan Naidu added in his post. “They mark another step forward in building a truly connected and globally integrated Andhra Pradesh.”

The minister further added that more flights would be added and more routes would be introduced to connect major cities to the rest of India. Once Amaravati is developed, Andhra Pradesh would also develop on all fronts. To start with there is already a lot of demand for flights to neighbouring states.
