Go First has resumed its direct international flight as well as international cargo operations from Srinagar to Sharjah. Go First was the first airline to introduce direct service from Srinagar to Sharjah last year under the air bubble agreement.

Go First flight G8 1595 departs from Sheikh-ul-Alam International Airport in Srinagar at 7.45 pm and arrives in Sharjah at 10.30 pm. On the return, Go First flight G8 4095 will operate from Sharjah International Airport at 12.05 am and arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi at 5.10.

“We are delighted to resume services between Srinagar and Sharjah, which could steer the economic growth of J-K. This connectivity will play a pivotal role in bilateral exchange trade and tourism between the two regions.”

The resumption of this sector is poised to boost trade and tourism between JK and the UAE. The UAE and Srinagar are popular holiday destinations and Go First flights will usher convenient travel options. These services will also support trade and investment links between Srinagar and Sharjah.

The airline was also the first to sign the agreement with LULU Group of Dubai for cargo movement from Srinagar to Sharjah. With the extra focus on the Srinagar market, Go First wants to make Srinagar a mini-hub for international air travel and cargo.
