A new flight service will be launched soon to Ahmedabad, Gujarat, from the Thiruvananthapuram airport.
Indigo’s new daily service will start from June 16. The inward sector flight (6E-5301) will depart the Thiruvananthapuram domestic terminal at 5 a.m. and arrive at Ahmedabad at 9.10 a.m. via Mumbai.
The return flight (6E-5302) will depart Ahmedabad at 5.25 p.m. and arrive Thiruvananthapuram at 9.35 p.m.

The service will be beneficial for the tourists from Gujarat and neighbouring States to Kerala. Non-stop service from Thiruvananthapuram to Ahmedabad is also being considered.
