Bangkok, Singapore flights are now on Indore horizon

Indore: An impetus to tourism and growing industrialisation in the region supported by footfall of leading multinational companies have raised hopes for enhancing international air connectivity in Indore beyond the maiden Dubai flight.
Backed by leisure and corporate travellers, Singapore and Bangkok have emerged as most desired international destinations to get air linked from Indore, claimed Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI), MP and CG chapter.

Industry and travel agent's associations are in talks with three leading air carriers to explore potential of international connectivity from Indore. Praveen Agrawal, ex-chairman, CII, Madhya Pradesh, “Initially a lot of impetus was to start Dubai flight from Indore. Now Singapore and Bangkok have come on the list of respondents that will help in connecting the eastern world and Indore has a lot of potential to generate air traffic.”

A feedback collected from industrialists and stakeholders from tourism, education establishments among others showed encouraging demand for direct international air connectivity from Indore to Singapore and Bangkok, said CII and TAAI, MP and CG.

According to CII, Indore has potential to generate an estimated 1.5 lakh international passengers every year led by leisure travellers, corporates, academic institutes and flyers from nearby cities and bordering areas.
