MUMBAI: Mumbai now has three daily non-stop flights to the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Two operated by Kenya Airways and one by IndiGo, which made its debut in the African subcontinent on Saturday with daily flights to Nairobi.
IndiGo’s 2.10am departure from Mumbai would rival Kenya Airways’ 2.40am flight, while another Kenyan flight departs at 6.45am.
The cheapest return fare from Mumbai to Nairobi is now down to Rs 30,000 (for travel this month), from the earlier Rs 44,000 plus. “The Rs 30,000 return offered by IndiGo is the launch fare and is expected to go up in the coming months, especially around November-December when the Diwali and year-end travel picks up,” said a travel agent, requesting anonymity.
