Odisha: IndiGo To Operate Jharsuguda-Mumbai Daily Flights From March

Bhubaneswar: In a boost to connectivity in Odisha, low-cost carrier IndiGo on Wednesday announced the launch of new flights between Mumbai and Jharsuguda. The flight services will start from March 1, 2025.

The new flight service will further strengthen inter-state connectivity. Apart from this, it will also promote increased trade and economic opportunities for both cities, the airline said in a statement.

The expansion of the flight service has elicited a positive response among the air travellers who were earlier demanding an extension of the services. With the new services, the residents of Jharsuguda and nearby regions can now access one of India’s largest metro cities with ease.

“We are pleased to expand our operations further with the launch of daily, direct, operations between Mumbai and Jharsuguda, Odisha. This new route marks IndiGo’s fourth direct connection to/from Jharsuguda, following Bengaluru, Delhi, and Kolkata,” PTI quotes the statement as saying.

The Mumbai-Jharsuguda daily flight will take off from Mumbai at 10.55 am and reach the western Odisha city at 1 pm, while the return flight will leave Jharsuguda at 2.20 pm and reach Mumbai at 4.15 pm.

“By connecting Jharsuguda with Mumbai, a critical hub for commerce and industry, we aim to position Jharsuguda as a key gateway for growth and development in the region,” the statement quoted the head of global sales, IndiGo, Vinay Malhotra, as saying.
