IndiGo’s non-stop Hyderabad to Malé flight returns on 2 December 2026, and the airline has moved it to earlier, more holiday-friendly timings. Flight 6E 1137 now leaves Hyderabad at 12:05 and lands in Malé at 14:10, and 6E 1138 leaves Malé at 15:10 and lands back in Hyderabad at 18:10, every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Based on IndiGo’s revised-timings notice for its Hyderabad–Malé Seasonal Edition (effective 2 December 2026), the route’s original winter 2026/27 schedule filing, and live non-stop schedules and fares on Google Flights, checked 13 November 2026. Not from news reports.

Talk to our flight booking agents or WhatsApp us your dates for the live fare.
Is IndiGo Flying Direct from Hyderabad to Malé Again?
Yes. IndiGo restarts its non-stop Hyderabad to Malé flight on Wednesday, 2 December 2026, as a seasonal winter service operating four times a week. There are no non-stop flights between Hyderabad and the Maldives before that date, so 2 December is the first day you can fly direct.
This is the first direct link between Hyderabad and the Maldives since January 2025, when IndiGo last flew the route. IndiGo calls it the Hyderabad–Malé Seasonal Edition, and it is timed for the busiest Maldives months for Indian travellers: December holidays, Christmas, New Year and the wedding and honeymoon season.
What Are the New IndiGo Hyderabad to Malé Flight Timings?
6E 1137 leaves Hyderabad at 12:05 and lands in Malé at 14:10, and 6E 1138 leaves Malé at 15:10 and lands in Hyderabad at 18:10. The outbound flight takes about 2 hours 35 minutes and the return about 2 hours 30 minutes.
These are new timings. When IndiGo first filed the route for this winter, the flight was due to leave Hyderabad at 15:15 and reach Malé at 17:25, with the return leaving Malé at 18:25 and landing in Hyderabad at 21:30. IndiGo has now moved both flights about three hours earlier, before the first departure.
| Flight | Route | New timing (from 2 Dec 2026) | Originally filed timing | Days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6E 1137 | Hyderabad → Malé | 12:05 → 14:10 | 15:15 → 17:25 | Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri |
| 6E 1138 | Malé → Hyderabad | 15:10 → 18:10 | 18:25 → 21:30 | Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri |
Source: IndiGo revised-timings notice (effective 2 December 2026) and Google Flights, checked 13 November 2026. All times are local. Malé is 30 minutes behind India. Confirm timings at booking.
A quick note on time zones: Maldives time is 30 minutes behind India. So when you land in Malé at 14:10, it is 14:40 in Hyderabad. All times on this page are local times, as printed on your ticket.
Which Days Does the Hyderabad to Malé Flight Operate?
The flight operates four days a week: Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, in both directions. The aircraft flies to Malé and comes straight back the same afternoon, so you fly home on any of the same four days.
It is a seasonal service. IndiGo’s schedule filing runs the route through December and January, ending on 31 January 2027, so this is a winter window rather than a year-round flight. If you want to travel direct, plan your Maldives trip for December or January and book early, because four flights a week on a single-aisle Airbus A320neo is not a lot of seats in peak season.
Why Are the New Timings Good News for Maldives Travellers?
Landing in Malé at 14:10 instead of 17:25 means most travellers can now reach their resort on the day they arrive, and the return gets you home in Hyderabad by early evening. Here is what the change means in practice.
Same-day transfer to your resort
Maldives resorts sit on their own islands, and you reach them from Malé airport by speedboat, seaplane or a short domestic flight plus a boat. Seaplanes fly only in daylight. With the old 17:25 arrival, many seaplane resorts would have meant a night in Malé or Hulhumalé first. A 14:10 landing leaves time for immigration, baggage and the transfer desk, so speedboat resorts near Malé are easy the same day, and many seaplane resorts become possible too. Last seaplane times vary by resort and season, so we check yours before you book.
A full first evening at the resort
Arriving in the afternoon means sunset on your island, not in the taxi queue. On a short three- or four-night trip, that first evening is a real share of your holiday.
Home by 18:10, not 21:30
The return now leaves Malé at 15:10, which still allows a relaxed morning checkout and transfer back to the airport. You land in Hyderabad at 18:10, more than three hours earlier than the old 21:30, which is easier with children and with work the next day.
Right on time for Christmas, New Year and honeymoons
The service starts in early December and runs through January, the busiest stretch of the year for Maldives holidays from India. If you are planning a festive break or a honeymoon package, this is the easiest way to get there from Hyderabad without a connection.
How Much Does a Hyderabad to Malé Flight Cost?
When we checked on 13 November 2026, return fares on the non-stop IndiGo flight started at around ₹30,000 per person in economy, including taxes. Fares change daily as seats sell, so contact our agent for the live price for your travel dates.
One tip from our ticketing desk: book a round trip rather than two one-way tickets. On this route the Malé to Hyderabad leg costs noticeably more on its own than the outbound flight, so a round-trip booking usually works out cheaper. Return dates in the week before Christmas were also priced well above the rest of December when we checked, so if your dates are flexible, ask us to compare a few options.
Check your checked-baggage and cabin allowance before you pack, especially for a beach holiday with extra luggage. Our guide to baggage rules for domestic and international flights explains how it works.
How Should You Plan a Maldives Trip Around This Flight?
Because the flight runs on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the easiest trip lengths are 3, 4 or 5 nights. Pick your departure and return days from the same four days, then choose the resort.
Trip lengths that fit the schedule
- 3 nights: Friday to Monday, or Sunday to Wednesday. A long weekend break.
- 4 nights: Monday to Friday, or Wednesday to Sunday. Our most popular length for couples.
- 5 nights: Friday to Wednesday, or Sunday to Friday. Enough time to split your stay between two resorts or room types.
Choosing a resort for an afternoon arrival
If you want zero risk on the first day, choose a resort reached by speedboat from Malé, such as Kuramathi or Velassaru. If your heart is set on a seaplane resort, tell us early and we will confirm the resort’s last transfer time against your 14:10 arrival before you pay anything.
