IndiGo Airlines is launching a new flight connecting Raipur in Chhattisgarh to Mumbai starting February 1.
With the release of the official schedule, travel operators have also received booking slots.
This will be the fourth flight on the Raipur–Mumbai route. At present, three flights operate daily between the two cities.
New Flight Schedule and Why It Matters
The new IndiGo flight will take off from Navi Mumbai Airport at 12:50 p.m. and reach Raipur by 2:50 p.m.
After a short halt, the flight will depart from Raipur at 3:05 p.m. and land back in Navi Mumbai at 5:05 p.m.
Aviation officials say this timing will be very useful for business travelers, students, and medical passengers.
Until now, there were no convenient direct flights between the afternoon and evening hours.
Increasing Demand Leads to More Connectivity
The extra flight is expected to reduce crowding during peak hours and offer better travel flexibility.
According to IndiGo, the demand on the Raipur–Mumbai route has been rising rapidly.
Over the past few months, the passenger load factor has been consistently between 85% and 90%, which played a major role in approving this new service.
