Overview

• Approval allows two Turkish Airlines Boeing 777s to keep operating for IndiGo under a wet/damp lease until February 28, 2026.
• The extension requires IndiGo to consider moving these or other aircraft to dry lease and to operate them on its own AOC.
• IndiGo said the decision preserves operational stability and keeps nonstop links to Istanbul during the peak travel period.
• The leased widebodies currently serve Delhi–Istanbul and Mumbai–Istanbul, with options after the extension to use IndiGo’s own jets or other compliant wet/damp leases.
• The move follows BCAS’s May revocation of security clearance for Turkish ground-handler Celebi in India, which intensified scrutiny of Turkey-related aviation ties.
