Budget carrier Indigo will begin flight operation to Myanmar from Kolkata, the company announced today. The airline's non-stop flights would start operation from Kolkata from September 20, 2019. With this new flight service, Yangoon in Myanmar would be Indigo’s 18th global destination. The airline will operate two flights on this route.  Yangon is the former capital of the country.
