On Wednesday, IndiGo announced that it will begin operating direct flights from Delhi to London (Heathrow) on February 2, 2026. The airline will use its wet/damp leased Boeing 787 aircraft from Norse Atlantic Airways to fly five times a week on the route, providing a dual-class arrangement with IndiGoStretch and Economy Class.
IndiGo will now run 12 weekly flights to London in addition to its current daily direct flights from Mumbai to London Heathrow. Following IndiGo’s recent debut of flights to Denpasar (Bali), Krabi, Hanoi, Guangzhou, and Manchester, this new route represents a steady increase of international connectivity from the National Capital, Delhi, according to an official announcement.
Direct flights to Athens will begin in January 2026, according to an announcement made by IndiGo. In the last 12 months, IndiGo has added 10 new foreign destinations and more than 30 new international routes from various locations in India as part of its further internationalization, in addition to its international expansion from Delhi.
Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer at IndiGo, quoted, “We are pleased to introduce direct flights between Delhi and London, offering more travel options between India and the United Kingdom. This follows the recent launch of our direct flights from Mumbai to London, and service from Delhi and Mumbai to Manchester. This new service is expected to support the growing demand for travel between the two cities for commerce, tourism, and visiting family and friends.
IndiGo is committed to making international travel seamless and more accessible, while strengthening connectivity between India and key global destinations.”
