As someone from Kannur, I'm so excited about this! My family has been wanting to visit Fujairah's beautiful beaches and mountains. The timing couldn't be better with summer vacations coming up.

While I appreciate the new connectivity, I hope IndiGo maintains their service quality with this expansion. Their flights to other UAE airports sometimes have long queues during peak hours.

Yay! More options to visit my relatives in Fujairah. The current flights via Sharjah take too long. Hope they offer competitive pricing too 🤞

Great move for Fujairah's tourism! The east coast has so much potential that many tourists miss. Maybe now more people will discover places like Snoopy Island and Al Bidyah Mosque.

I wonder if they'll include Fujairah in their international roaming packages. That would be super helpful for business travelers who need data connectivity right after landing.
