Good news for people in Uttar Pradesh. Traveling from Lucknow to Abu Dhabi has now become more convenient. Air India Express has started a new daily direct flight between Lucknow and Abu Dhabi from July 16, 2026.
With this launch, passengers now have another non-stop flight option on this route. The new service will give travelers more flexibility while booking their tickets.
Daily Flight Schedule
Air India Express flight IX901 will depart from Lucknow every day at 3:15 PM and reach Abu Dhabi at 5:45 PM (local time).
The return flight, IX902, will leave Abu Dhabi at 6:45 PM and arrive in Lucknow at 12:20 AM the next day.
Since the flight operates daily, passengers can plan their trips on any day of the week without waiting for limited schedules.
Passengers Now Have Two Airline Options
Earlier, only IndiGo offered direct flights between Lucknow and Abu Dhabi. IndiGo started operating on this route on May 11, 2026.
Now, Air India Express has also joined the route, giving travelers the choice of two airlines. This will make ticket booking easier and allow passengers to choose flights based on their preferred timing and fares.
Who Will Benefit?
The new daily flight will be helpful for people traveling to the UAE for jobs, business, education, or holidays.
It will also make it easier for Indians living in Abu Dhabi and other parts of the UAE to visit their families in Uttar Pradesh.
Apart from improving travel, the new service is expected to support business ties and strengthen the connection between Uttar Pradesh and the UAE
