Starting 15 May 2025, Fujairah International Airport will launch new daily flights to Mumbai and Kannur, operated by IndiGo Airlines. These routes strengthen air connectivity between India and the UAE — a development that is expected to positively impact tourism, trade, and Dubai real estate investment activity.
The expansion marks IndiGo’s fifth UAE destination, adding to its existing services in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah. For Indian nationals planning to buy property in Dubai or expand their real estate portfolios in the UAE, improved access makes travel faster, easier, and more frequent.
Why This Matters to Buyers and Real Estate Investors in Dubai
At MILK Real Estate, we see a direct correlation between enhanced air connectivity and increased investor activity. Stronger links between India and the UAE support ongoing demand from international property buyers, especially Indian investors in Dubai — currently the largest single nationality group in the city’s real estate sector.
With more flight options and shorter travel times, Indian families and professionals looking to invest in off-plan property in Dubai now have even greater convenience when visiting project sites, attending handovers, or managing rental investments.
Indian Buyers Lead Dubai Real Estate Transactions in 2025
According to recent Dubai Land Department data, Indian investors account for over 28% of total property transactions in Q1 2025. Popular locations for Indian buyers include Business Bay, Dubai Marina, Downtown, and a growing number of master-planned off-plan communities offering flexible payment plans and long-term visa eligibility.
Direct flights to Fujairah are expected to broaden this interest by offering new entry points into the UAE, and by further encouraging investment beyond rentals into full freehold property ownership in Dubai.
Infrastructure Growth Signals Investor Confidence Across the UAE
While Dubai continues to lead in terms of transaction volume and investment returns, Fujairah’s improved connectivity is a strong signal of the UAE’s broader economic vision. For buyers focused on capital appreciation and real estate ROI, these infrastructure developments play a key role in long-term investment strategy.
Better transport and tourism links mean stronger demand for short-term rentals, better resale prospects, and wider appeal to overseas buyers. These are essential considerations for any real estate investor buying in Dubai today.
Why 2025 Is a Strategic Time to Buy Property in Dubai
With rising sales volumes, growing interest from international buyers, and no property taxes, 2025 remains one of the most compelling moments for global investors to enter or expand within the Dubai property market.
Whether you’re purchasing a second home, securing a Golden Visa through investment, or acquiring rental assets, Dubai offers long-term stability and growth potential in an increasingly connected region.
