MUSCAT — IndiGo will resume daily non-stop flights between Muscat and Hyderabad from May 14, 2026, aligning the restart of the route with the onset of peak summer travel demand driven by school holidays and vacation travel.

The move comes as families across Oman and India begin planning summer trips, with schools closing for holidays and expatriates travelling home, traditionally leading to a surge in passenger volumes on India-bound routes.

According to the airline’s schedule shared with trade partners, flight 6E 1274 will depart Muscat at 2:50am and arrive in Hyderabad at 7:45am. The return flight, 6E 1273, will leave Hyderabad at 12:05am and reach Muscat at 1:50am.

The resumption is expected to ease pressure on fares and capacity on the busy Oman–India corridor, particularly to southern Indian cities such as Hyderabad, which sees strong demand from both workers and families.
