May-02-2026

InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) has commenced direct flights between Chennai and Reunion Island, a French overseas territory in the Indian Ocean, on April 29 2026. The thrice weekly service between the two airports is being operated using the airline’s Airbus A320 aircraft.

The island is known for its towering volcanic peaks, lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and pristine beaches - all within short driving distances of each other. Large parts of the island, including its iconic pitons, cirques, and ramparts, are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites; while its distinctive cultural identity is shaped by African, European, Indian, and Asian influences. Beyond appealing to luxury travellers, nature lovers, and adventure seekers, Reunion Island is also emerging as a compelling destination for business travellers, supported by developing MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) infrastructure and a strong commitment to development of sustainable tourism.

InterGlobe Aviation provides air transportation services in India and internationally. The company primarily operates IndiGo passenger airline.
