IndiGo-1
London Heathrow becomes airline's 45th international destination, launching Oct 26, 2025.
IndiGo is set to launch direct, daily flights between Mumbai and London Heathrow Airport. IndiGo’s foray into London, starting October 26, 2025, will be the next big step in its global expansion strategy making London its second destination in the United Kingdom, following the successful launch of services between Mumbai and Manchester earlier this year.
The flights will be operated daily using IndiGo’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner taken on wet/ damp lease from Norse Atlantic Airways, offering a dual-class configuration including Economy Class and IndiGo’s tailor-made business product, IndiGoStretch. IndiGo will offer complimentary hot meals and beverages inspired by local and global flavours to all customers on this route. Additionally, alcoholic beverages can be purchased by customers on-board the Economy cabin and will be offered with compliments to IndiGoStretch customers. All seats feature seatback screens for inflight entertainment with nearly 300 hours of engaging content.
Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer, IndiGo, said, “Entering Heathrow, a key global hub known for its scale and connectivity, is both a proud milestone and a strategic step forward in strengthening IndiGo’s global footprint. The India-United Kingdom corridor has long held significant relevance, not only because of strong bilateral ties, but also due to the growing traffic between the two countries driven by students, visiting friends and relatives, business and leisure travellers. After the outstanding response to our longhaul debut flights to Manchester, we are excited to set foot in London, offering more travel options for our customers while reinforcing our commitment to provide seamless connectivity between India and the world.”
Ross Baker, Heathrow’s Chief Customer Officer, said: “We are pleased to welcome IndiGo’s new daily service between Mumbai and Heathrow. As the UK’s international gateway, this new route will further strengthen the vital ties between the UK and India, creating opportunities for trade, tourism and cultural exchange. We look forward to supporting IndiGo’s international growth while offering passengers more choice when travelling between these two world-class cities.”
With expansion across capacity, fleet, customers, destinations, and teams, IndiGo is steadily pursuing its ambition of transforming into a global aviation player, contributing to India’s vision to become one of the top global aviation hubs by 2030. IndiGo has added nearly 40 new international destinations since 2015, with nearly 20 of those destinations in just the last three years and made its long-haul debut in July 2025 with the launch of Manchester and Amsterdam, and more recently, Copenhagen. Heathrow is the 45th international destination and 138th overall destination in the airline’s expanding network.
