Airport and Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) Ltd., announced that the Jaffna International Airport (JIA) yesterday welcomed the inaugural direct IndiGo flight from Tiruchirappalli to Jaffna.
The new international service, which will operate six days a week, has taken a major step forward in enhancing direct regional air connectivity, significantly improving travel options between India and Sri Lanka’s Northern Province.
Under the new schedule, IndiGo flights will depart Tiruchirappalli at 13:25, reaching Jaffna by 14:25. The return flight from Jaffna will take off at 15:10, arriving back in Tiruchirappalli by 16:05.

By enhancing direct access to Jaffna, the route strengthens the airport’s role as a key regional hub, while also deepening economic and cultural ties between India and Sri Lanka.
