Indore launches first international flight to Abu Dhabi

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will flag off Madhya Pradesh’s first international air service on Wednesday, July 15, from Indore, marking a historic milestone in the state’s aviation growth. The inaugural flight under the Madhya Pradesh Civil Aviation Policy-2025 will connect Indore directly to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Operated



by Air India Express, which is a Tata Group company, the Indore-Abu Dhabi flight will operate four days a week — on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

This direct service is expected to significantly benefit the people of the Malwa-Nimar region. At present, travellers have to take connecting flights via Delhi or Mumbai, which takes around 7 to 8 hours.
