India’s largest low-cost carrier (LCC) IndiGo has got permission to fly abroad this summer. The LCC will start flights to Singapore, Bangkok, Dubai and Muscat in August when it completes five years of operation. IndiGo had shortlisted 15 sectors in the Gulf, south and southeast Asia as destinations it wanted to fly to. Since the airline becomes eligible to fly abroad in August and the summer schedule remains in force till October-end, the nod was given for four flights to begin with. The airline said the schedules and launch dates of the flights would be announced in the coming months. Sources indicated that when winter schedule kicks off in November, the LCC may be allowed more sectors as more planes would join its fleet. IndiGo currently has 34 aircraft and 14 more are slated to join this year. Keeping in mind the range of the A-320, the airline had shortlisted places like Maldives, Kathmandu, Dubai, Jeddah, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Bangkok and Singapore.
