Introduction
In a major boost for Coimbatore’s air connectivity, IndiGo Airlines has announced the launch of direct flights between Coimbatore and Ahmedabad, starting October 26, 2025. This marks the first-ever non-stop service between the two bustling cities, enhancing business travel, tourism, and trade links between Tamil Nadu and Gujarat.
A New Chapter in Coimbatore’s Aviation Growth
With Coimbatore rapidly emerging as a key industrial and educational hub, the demand for direct air connectivity to Western India has been growing steadily. Responding to this, IndiGo has introduced the Coimbatore–Ahmedabad route, a move expected to make travel smoother for entrepreneurs, tourists, and professionals alike.
The airline will operate four flights per week — on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays — using the Airbus A320 aircraft.

Tour operators expect an uptick in tourism, while traders anticipate smoother logistics between the two major business destinations.
IndiGo Strengthens Its Southern Network
IndiGo continues to expand its footprint in South India, strengthening routes that connect key Tier-II cities to metro and business centers. The new Coimbatore–Ahmedabad flight aligns with IndiGo’s mission to provide affordable and convenient connectivity across India.
According to airline sources, the move reflects increasing passenger demand and the potential for regional economic growth.

With the new flight schedule taking off this October, travelers can look forward to a faster, smarter, and more comfortable journey between Tamil Nadu and Gujarat.
