Hyderabad has flourished as a global trade centre for diamonds, pearls and other jewels. In fact, it was once home to the Nizams. The city has direct flight routes to various destinations, both domestic and international. As per recent reports, IndiGo is starting direct flights from Hyderabad to Singapore from October 29!
IndiGo To Start Another Direct Flights From Hyderabad To Singapore
In an effort to improve air connectivity even more, GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd. (GHIAL) has announced intentions to launch two additional flight services from Hyderabad to Singapore and Colombo in collaboration with IndiGo.
On October 29, IndiGo will begin service on the Hyderabad to Singapore route. At 2:50 am (IST), Flight 6E-1027 is scheduled to depart from Hyderabad and arrive in Singapore at 10:00 am (Singapore Standard Time).
At 23:25 (Singapore Standard Time), flight 6E-1028 will depart Singapore and arrive in Hyderabad at 1:30 am Indian Standard Time on the return leg.

Pradeep Panicker, CEO of GHIAL, expressed his excitement regarding the new routes. He stated that being a part of this fascinating advancement in connectivity makes them very happy. Travellers from southern and central India, especially from Hyderabad, will now have a greater range of options to consider based on their travel preferences thanks to the establishment of more international routes by airlines.
