Overview

  • IndiGo will begin direct flights from Mumbai to Manchester on July 1 and to Amsterdam on July 2, 2025, operating three times weekly on each route.
  • These flights mark IndiGo’s debut in the long-haul international market, supported by damp-leased Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners from Norse Atlantic Airways.
  • The airline will offer complimentary hot meals to passengers on these routes, a first for IndiGo as it departs from its traditional low-cost model.
  • IndiGo will be the only carrier providing direct connectivity between India and Northern UK via the Manchester route, catering to underserved demand.
  • This expansion is part of IndiGo’s broader internationalisation strategy, which includes future deliveries of A321XLR and A350-900 aircraft to further enhance its global reach.
