In a major boost to international connectivity from Andhra Pradesh, a new direct flight from Visakhapatnam to Abu Dhabi will commence on June 13, offering travelers a convenient link to the UAE capital. Abu Dhabi, located just 139 kilometers from Dubai, is now easily accessible in just two hours by taxi, with fares ranging between AED 250 to 300 (approximately ₹5,800 to ₹7,000).

 

The Andhra Pradesh Air Travellers Association (APATA) has extended heartfelt thanks to Shri Ram Mohan Naidu garu, Hon’ble Minister of Civil Aviation, Government of India, for his instrumental role in connecting Vizag to Abu Dhabi. This strategic route is expected to boost tourism, trade, and cultural exchanges between Andhra Pradesh and the Middle East.

APATA also welcomed the introduction of two more key flight services:

• A new Visakhapatnam to Bhubaneswar flight starting June 12

• A new Vijayawada to Bengaluru flight beginning June 2

These additional routes will significantly improve domestic connectivity within India, offering more travel options for both business and leisure passengers.
