The no-frills carrier will be the first airline to directly connect Mumbai with Jakarta and has opened booking for exclusive daily flights between the two destinations.
Direct flights have been introduced on the route keeping in mind the rising demand for travel to Indonesia, the airline said.

As India and Indonesia look at strengthening bilateral ties and increasing direct connectivity, the opening of this new route will enable easy access and promotion of trade and tourism across the two nations," Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales at IndiGo, said.
