IndiGo on Monday announced direct daily flights to London Heathrow starting October 26, 2025, subject to regulatory approvals. The airline will operate a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft on this route. These flights will be available for booking soon.

The Gurugram-based carrier, which completed 19 years of operations in the country, announced several strategic developments in its journey to become a global airline.

IndiGo will be receiving five additional Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft in the current financial year under its damp-lease arrangement with Norse Atlantic Airways, which will enable the airline to launch new international routes while strengthening its existing long-haul network.

The country’s biggest carrier will start offering its business product, IndiGoStretch, on flights connecting Singapore to Delhi and Mumbai from August 9, 2025. IndiGo will operate its two-class A321 aircraft on the routes. Similarly, the airline will introduce IndiGoStretch on flights between Delhi and Dubai from August 30, 2025, and flights between Mumbai and Dubai starting September 3, 2025.

Within a period of just 19 years, IndiGo has established itself as India’s largest airline, operating a fleet of over 400 aircraft to service a robust network covering more than 90 domestic and over 40 international destinations.

“As we celebrate IndiGo’s 19th anniversary, we are immensely proud of the journey we have had so far and equally excited about the way ahead. The love and support of millions of our customers, coupled with the shared passion and drive of more than 66,000 IndiGo employees, has fueled our flight towards new heights and across new frontiers,” said Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer, IndiGo.

“Today, we are delighted to announce our next strides in international markets, especially our daily, direct flights to London Heathrow. Looking ahead, we are hopeful to continue winning hearts and accolades in India as well as globally, as we expand our operations across the globe, one airport at a time,” Elbers added.

In July, IndiGo unfolded a new chapter in its growth journey by launching long-haul international operations, with direct flights connecting Mumbai with Manchester and Amsterdam. IndiGo also, recently, signed an MOU with Delta Air Lines, Air France-KLM and Virgin Atlantic to build an industry-leading partnership connecting India with Europe and North America. IndiGo also enhanced its partnerships with KLM and Japan Airlines, making it reciprocal and extending the benefits of seamless travel across their respective networks to IndiGo customers. The airline further strengthened its network by entering into a codeshare agreement with Jetstar, offering one-stop connectivity to 14 destinations across Australia and New Zealand.

Aligned with its growth strategy and long-term internationalisation plans, IndiGo announced converting 30 aircraft of its purchase rights for 70 Airbus A350 aircraft, into a firm order, thereby taking its total wide-body aircraft order to 60. The airline also announced its plans to start operations to Copenhagen, Athens, Siem Reap besides adding four more Central Asian destinations within FY26.

Within India, IndiGo added two new airports to its network – Adampur (Jalandhar, Punjab) and Hindon (Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh), besides announcing commencement of commercial flight operations from Navi Mumbai International Airport with over 18 daily departures to over 15 cities as soon as the airport launches.
