MakeMyTrip, Fly91 launch Bengaluru-Lakshadweep holiday packages
Our read
If Fly91's seasonal Bengaluru-Agatti flights sustain high load factors, MakeMyTrip will expand Lakshadweep from a premium niche bundle into a broader managed-inventory island-holiday category, though capacity limits will keep pricing elevated.
For operators
MakeMyTrip’s bundled Bengaluru-Agatti offering reduces trip-planning friction and makes Lakshadweep more accessible as a premium, seasonal domestic leisure destination.

Likely next moves
Our read of what comes next — analysis, not reported by the source.
- Track package sell-through, cancellation rates and average booking lead time for the Bengaluru-Agatti service.
- Add tiered products around the ₹89,999 entry package, including shorter stays, premium resorts, water-sport upgrades and family/group bundles.
- Secure additional room and activity inventory before peak travel dates to avoid flight-led demand exceeding on-island capacity.
- Use the route to cross-sell Bengaluru airport transfers, travel insurance, luggage add-ons and premium payment/EMI options.
- Test demand from nearby southern markets via Bengaluru connections before pursuing additional origin-city packages.
The counter-case
The case against this reading — not reported by the source.
The proposition may be too niche and expensive to materially move MakeMyTrip demand or Fly91 economics: ₹89,999 per person for a 3-night trip limits the addressable market, while a flight every four days provides modest capacity and little schedule flexibility. Lakshadweep’s permit rules, limited room inventory, weather exposure and operational disruptions can make a bundled promise difficult to deliver consistently. The partnership could also concentrate reputational risk on both brands if transfers, accommodation quality or cancellations fall short of expectations.
