Leading Indian flyer Indigo commenced direct flights between Tiruchirappalli and Jaffna. Jaffna already connects Chennai through daily flights, which has provided much-needed connectivity for people of both countries.

According to the flight schedule, IndiGo will operate flights six days a week, with departures from Tiruchirappalli (TRZ) at 13:25, arriving in Jaffna (JAF) at 14:25. The return flight from Jaffna will depart at 15:10 and reach Tiruchirappalli by 16:05. This expansion is expected to boost travel and trade between India and Sri Lanka, particularly benefiting passengers in the Northern Province.
