DELHI- <\/strong>IndiGo Airlines (6E)<\/a> is planning to add more flights in the European long-haul market with two new UK routes starting in the Winter 2025\/26 schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline plans to operate Mumbai-London Heathrow and Delhi-Manchester services. This could be the airline’s first-ever entry into the UK’s busiest airport and the competitive India-London market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo Plans New Europe Routes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

London Heathrow Routes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo has secured slots at London Heathrow through a lease agreement with Virgin Atlantic (VS). The airline has 14 weekly slots – 7 arrivals and 7 departures – at Terminal 3. The slots, as of now, are going to be leased to IndiGo between October 26, 2025, and March 28, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scheduling data shows the aircraft type as Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner from Norse with 338 seats. Using wet-leased widebody aircraft has allowed IndiGo to enter the long-haul market without major fleet commitments. This reduces financial risk while the airline learns the complexities of operating extended routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mumbai-London route is one of the most lucrative from India. IndiGo will compete directly against Air India, Virgin Atlantic, and British Airways. Combined, these three airlines operate 7 daily flights on the route. IndiGo’s entry into London brings its low-cost pricing approach to a market traditionally dominated by full-service carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Delhi-Manchester route is another planned route by IndiGo. The airline has filed and plans to launch this route from November 15, 2025. Flights are expected to operate four times weekly, along with three times weekly, Mumbai-Manchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
