India's budget airline GoAir will be expanding its international footprint starting July 19 onward, with seven new international routes.
GoAir will be starting daily flights from Mumbai and Delhi to Abu Dhabi, Muscat and Bangkok. Flights will also be operations from Kannur to Dubai and back, and to Kuwait and back.
Out of the seven new international routes, Bangkok, Dubai and Kuwait are new markets for GoAir whereas the other routes are already on the airline's network albeit from different cities in India.
The airline already flies to Abu Dhabi and Muscat from Kannur, and it flies to Phuket and Maldives (being seasonal flight) from Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai.
