The Centre has given its approval to IndiGo’s plans to start direct flight services between India and Africa, sources told FE. Accordingly, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has allowed the airline to start services between Mumbai and Nairobi.
The regulator, before permitting air carriers to start operations to new foreign destinations, assesses their preparedness to conduct such flights. After the assessment, DGCA has approved the new flight service to start from July 24.
In addition to Nairobi, IndiGo will be adding five new destinations across Asia, and Africa via direct flight services.
