IndiGo is expanding its international network with an exciting new route connecting Bengaluru to Malaysia’s scenic Langkawi. Starting December 16, 2024, travellers can now enjoy daily direct flights to this tropical paradise, making Langkawi IndiGo’s 36th international and 124th overall destination.
Expanding IndiGo’s Global Reach
This latest addition to the IndiGo network is part of the airline’s ongoing commitment to expanding its reach for Indian travellers, marking the second Malaysian destination IndiGo serves, alongside Kuala Lumpur. According to Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales at IndiGo, “The addition of Langkawi reflects our dedication to offering affordable, timely, and seamless travel experiences across our network.” With 14 weekly flights now connecting India and Malaysia, IndiGo is poised to cater to the growing demand among Indian tourists, further supported by Malaysia’s recent visa waiver for Indian citizens.
IndiGo’s direct flight to Langkawi is part of the airline’s broader expansion of international routes from Bengaluru, which has also recently seen the introduction of flights to Mauritius and Bali. These destinations reflect Bengaluru’s emergence as a bustling international hub, with IndiGo providing connections to over 60 domestic and 10 international locations, including Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, Colombo, and Doha. This extensive network offers travellers easy access to both major metropolitan areas and tier 2 and tier 3 cities across India.
Langkawi, a stunning archipelago of 99 islands located on Malaysia’s northwest coast, offers travellers a mix of natural wonders and modern attractions. Known for its white-sand beaches, lush rainforests, and unique ecosystems, Langkawi is a dream destination for nature lovers, beachgoers, and adventure seekers. Highlights include the iconic Langkawi Sky Bridge, thrilling cable car rides, and UNESCO-recognized mangrove forests. Visitors can also explore mystical caves, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and indulge in local Malaysian cuisine.
