Navi Mumbai International Airport is set to go live sometime soon in the next weeks or so. IndiGo has now signalled that they will be the launch operator at the airport when it goes live later in 2025.
More information has come to light about the IndiGo 6E2142 flight that made it from a hailstorm and extreme turbulence to land in Srinagar earlier this week. It shows all the contstraints the pilots had to go through to navigate the storm.
IndiGo’s aircraft, last night got stuck in a hailstorm, causing it to arrive in Srinagar with a broken nose cone. No one got hurt, thankfully. Here are the details of this turbulence laden flight.
IndiGo is making substantial changes to its passenger experience for the new intercontinental flights it announced today, a step up from the earlier thought process at the airline.
IndiGo has signed on for six 787 9 aircraft in its fleet, which will be wet-leased from Norse Atlantic Airways, effective March 2025. They have just announced flights to Amsterdam and Manchester from Mumbai.
IndiGo has signed on for two more 787-9 aircraft in its fleet, which will be wet-leased from Norse Atlantic Airways, effective in 2026. This is the first step for them to fly long-haul to Europe and onwards.
Pakistan Airspace has been closed to Indian carriers. This will mean that many Indian airlines operating flights will have to circumvent Pakistan through the Arabian Sea, and hence delays may be expected for flights.
