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.
Due to the unfortunate incidents in Kashmir, all major Indian carriers are offering a change and cancellation waiver for flights to and from Srinagar. Others are also offering extra flights today on April 23, 2025 to help more people leave Srinagar.
IndiGo, after a complete capture of the Delhi – Mumbai, Delhi – Bengaluru, Delhi – Chennai and Delhi – Hyderabad route, IndiGo will now launch Stretch on Mumbai – Bangalore in May 2025.
