India’s largest low-cost carrier, IndiGo, officially began long-haul services on July 1 (to Manchester) and July 2 (to Amsterdam) using Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners leased from Norse Atlantic Airways. IndiGo long haul flights to Manchester and Amsterdam will operate three times a week. The new IndiGo international flights will connect Mumbai to these two popular European destinations marking the airline’s first move into true long-haul travel.

Strategic IndiGo Fleet Growth
To operate these routes, IndiGo leased four 787‑9 aircraft from Norse Atlantic Airways. The first has already entered service. A total of six widebodies may be available this year. They will support expansion until IndiGo’s own A321 XLR and A350 aircraft arrive, which are expected from 2027 onward.
