Summer Takes Flight! Ahmedabad Airport Expands International Connections

Ahmedabad : Great news for globetrotters in Gujarat! Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (SVPI) Airport in Ahmedabad is gearing up for a vibrant summer season with a significant increase in direct flights to popular international destinations. Effective March 31, 2024, travelers can look forward to more convenient connections to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Jeddah.

This exciting development coincides with the summer schedule announced by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), traditionally beginning on the last Sunday of March. This year, Ahmedabad joins other airports nationwide in implementing the new schedule, offering passengers a wider range of flight options to these sought-after destinations in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

So, ditch the layovers and embrace the ease of direct travel! Whether you dream of exploring Bangkok’s bustling markets, marveling at Kuala Lumpur’s architectural wonders, or embarking on a spiritual pilgrimage to Jeddah, Ahmedabad Airport is your gateway to unforgettable summer adventures.

The airport anticipates a surge in both domestic and international flights under the new summer schedule. This includes increased frequencies on existing domestic routes, along with the exciting addition of several new international connections.

Here’s a breakdown of the anticipated additions:

Bangkok, Thailand: Passengers can expect an increase in weekly flights offered by Thai Air. While details are still emerging, a potential rise from the current 3 flights per week to 4 is anticipated. Additionally, Air India Express may soon join the route, offering a direct connection to Bangkok’s Don Mueang city.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: AirAsia Malaysia has taken the lead, launching a brand-new direct flight to Kuala Lumpur, making it easier than ever to explore Malaysia’s vibrant capital.

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: Akasa Air is a potential newcomer on the scene, with the possibility of launching direct flights to Jeddah. This direct connection would prove particularly valuable for pilgrims undertaking their Hajj or Umrah journeys, especially during the peak summer months of May and June. While currently Indigo Airlines operates the Ahmedabad-Jeddah route, Akasa’s entry could introduce additional options and potentially lead to more competitive pricing.

These developments signify a significant boost in Ahmedabad’s international connectivity, opening doors for travelers to explore the world with greater ease. With a wider variety of airlines and more direct flights to choose from, planning your dream summer getaway just got a whole lot simpler.
