Mauritius will be IndiGo’s 35th international and 123rd overall destination, demonstrating the airline’s dedication to enhancing connectivity for both leisure and business travellers.
This new route will establish a direct link between two dynamic economic hubs—Bengaluru, referred to as India’s Silicon Valley, and Mauritius, a gateway to East Africa. With the launch of the new destination, the airline will not only meet the growing demand for tourism but will also serve as a vital enabler of trade, investment, and business partnerships between India and East Africa. As a preferred destination for Indian investors, Mauritius offers a favourable business environment across key sectors such as healthcare, education, and tourism and acts as a hub for the African markets, while strengthening the bilateral relationship between India and Mauritius.
