IndiGo to Launch DelhiHeathrow Nonstop Service on February 2, 2026

The expansion relies on wet‑leased Norse Atlantic 787s in a dual‑class layout under close regulatory oversight.

Overview

  • IndiGo will operate five weekly Boeing 787 flights on the DelhiLondon route using a wet/damp lease from Norse Atlantic Airways.
  • Cabin configuration will feature IndiGoStretch and Economy classes on the leased widebodies.
  • Published schedule lists flights 6E 0003/0004 operating Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday with daytime departures from Delhi and evening returns from London.
  • The move lifts IndiGo’s London offering to 12 weekly flights when combined with its existing daily MumbaiHeathrow service.
  • IndiGo will become the fourth nonstop operator on DelhiLondon, while the DGCA says five Turkish‑leased narrow‑bodies are permitted only until March 2026 with no extension, and the airline currently flies 15 foreign‑leased jets including seven from Turkey.
