Non-stop flight to begin from Vizag to Tirupati

As flight services at Visakhapatnam International Airport are returning to normal, good news arrives. A non-stop flight has been announced from Vizag to Tirupati, the temple city of Andhra Pradesh, and vice-versa. This flight is scheduled to begin operations from 16 December, 2021 onwards. Till now, it takes at least 6 hours for travellers to get from Vizag to Tirupati by air, due to layovers at other airports. But now, the travel time between these two holy cities has been reduced to 2 hours. 

This non-stop flight from Vizag to Tirupati, and vice-versa, will be run by Indigo Airlines. Both the flights will run in the morning on a daily basis.
