"The new Vijayawada–Singapore route shall enhance the prospects of business, education, and tourism between Andhra Pradesh and Southeast Asia," he further commented.
A Milestone in Andhra Pradesh’s Aviation Growth
Officials said that the proposed route was first discussed during the Chief Minister's tour of Singapore in July 2025 when members of the Andhra diaspora sought greater connectivity. Accordingly, the Civil Aviation Ministry and IndiGo worked out the operational plan and schedule within 100 days.
This route would be a boon for students, businessmen, and exporters of the Vijayawada–Guntur–Amaravati belt, many of whom travel frequently to Singapore for academic and commercial engagements.
Trade and Tourism Coming Alive

Flight timings have also been coordinated by IndiGo to merge with Changi Airport's global network for onward smooth connectivity towards destinations in East Asia and Australia.
Strengthening the Aviation Hub Status of Vijayawada
After Sharjah, this being the second international route from Vijayawada, the new route gives further impetus to the emerging status of the airport as a vital aviation hub for south coastal Andhra Pradesh.
