International connectivity for India’s second-tier cities received a boost as IndiGo confirmed that thrice-weekly non-stop flights between Vijayawada (Gannavaram) and Singapore will restart on 15 November 2025. The service—operating Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays—comes after a seven-year hiatus that began when Jet Airways exited the route in 2018.
Flight 6E 1030 will depart Changi at 06:10 local time, touching down in Vijayawada at 07:45, while the return leg leaves India at 10:00, arriving Singapore at 16:40. Promotional economy fares begin at ₹8,188 one way, making it cost-competitive with connections through Hyderabad and Chennai.

For exporters in Andhra Pradesh’s burgeoning aqua-culture and pharmaceutical clusters, the restored link cuts transit times by up to four hours and removes a domestic hop. Singapore also serves as a key hub for onward travel to Australia and the United States, benefiting IT services staff headed to client sites. State officials estimate that the route could add ₹150 crore annually to regional trade and tourism.
The airport, recently upgraded with a new 8-bay international apron, has offered a 50 percent rebate on landing fees for long-haul carriers for the first two years. Mobility managers should note that the service uses Airbus A320 neo aircraft with limited belly-hold capacity; bulky cargo may still require routing via Hyderabad.
If load factors exceed 75 percent, IndiGo says it will consider increasing frequency to five flights a week during the 2026 summer schedule.
