Indigo-2
The UK-India corridor is a high-potential market, driven by strong economic ties between the two nations and an ever expanding Indian diaspora in the UK.
IndiGo’s service between Mumbai and Manchester marked the airline’s long-haul debut on July 01, 2025. Encouraged by the positive response to these flights and strong demand for travel between India and the UK, last week IndiGo announced direct flights between Delhi and Manchester starting November 15, 2025. Additionally, IndiGo recently announced the launch of direct, daily flights to London Heathrow from Mumbai, effective October 26, 2025. Responding to strong booking momentum, IndiGo will now further enhance its Winter capacity to Manchester, with the Delhi - Manchester - Delhi service going from 4x to 5x weekly starting November 15, 2025, and the frequency on the Mumbai - Manchester - Mumbai route increasing from 3x to 4x weekly from November 17, 2025. This represents a further increase of 28% in non-stop capacity between India and Manchester. These routes will be operated using IndiGo’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, featuring enhanced comfort, efficiency, and reliability for long-haul travel.
The UK-India corridor is a high-potential market, driven by strong economic ties between the two nations and an ever expanding Indian diaspora in the UK. There is significant demand from the corporates, tourists, students and people visiting friends and family. This opportunity aligns with IndiGo’s broader vision of connecting India to key destinations around the globe offering affordable fares, reliable operations
