The two new destinations are in addition to six others in India the airlines currently operates from Doha. They already fly directly from Doha to Hyderabad, Kochi, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kozhikode.
With AMD and TRV, @IndiGo6E's flight services frm #Doha, #Qatar will reach to eight Indian Cities frm six. The only route missing by #IndiGo or any Indian Carrier is #Bengaluru.
Hope @goairlinesindia covers up this route when they start Intl operations. #BengaluruAirport #avgeek https://t.co/tfGTHgqR5f

The return flight (6E 1729) will leave at 9.35am and arrive in Doha at 10.35am. The Doha- Thiruvananthapuram (6E 1728) flight, operating an A-320, will depart at 11.35am and arrive at 6.55pm.

Good to see that IndiGo is operating highest number of cities from India to Doha, Qatar. Also it is disappointing that Indians carriers like Air India Express and Jet Airways which are flying since 7 years to Doha are not adding new routes or flights. And the worst is Air India Full Service carrier doesn't fly to Doha when it has flights to all Gulf countries expect Qatar.
