IndiGo increases frequencies to Amsterdam and Manchester

IndiGo boosts Mumbai-Amsterdam and Mumbai-Manchester flights, adding more frequencies starting September 2025 with new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.

"IndiGo is likely to receive five additional Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft in the current financial year. – IndiGo Airlines"

New Delhi, July 30

IndiGo Airlines on Wednesday opened booking for increased flight frequencies on its start of long-haul routes connecting Mumbai with Amsterdam and Manchester.

As per the airline, starting from 20 September 2025, IndiGo's long-haul flights will operate 6 times per week between Mumbai and Amsterdam, with daily service to commence from 13 October 2025.

Furthermore, the connectivity between Mumbai and Manchester will be enhanced to 4 times a week, with effect from 22 September 2025. Bookings for these flights are available on the IndiGo website and/or mobile application.

The airline has already started operations to Manchester and Amsterdam on 01 and 02 July, respectively, using its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft taken on damp-lease from Norse Atlantic Airways.

IndiGo is likely to receive five additional Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft in the current financial year, the first of which is expected to arrive by mid-September, enabling the airline to bolster its service on these routes.

Recently, the airline has signed a one-year-long Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) to promote Singapore as a leading leisure and business destination for Indian travellers and boost bookings through IndiGo's extensive network.

Indigo stated that this partnership will mark STB's first MOU with an Indian airline, and IndiGo's first with a national tourism board.

Last week, Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu launched new flight routes from Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad to be operated by IndiGo.

After Air-India Express, IndiGo became the second airline to mark its presence at the Hindon Airport. Air India Express has started its flights from Hindon in March this year.

As someone who frequently travels to Amsterdam for work, this is excellent news! The current options are either too expensive or have terrible layovers. IndiGo's direct connectivity from Mumbai will save so much time and money.

Good initiative but I'm concerned about the damp-lease arrangement. Will IndiGo be able to maintain its service standards with leased aircraft? Their cabin crew isn't experienced with long-haul operations yet. Hope they train staff properly.

Manchester route is a smart move! So many Indian students go to UK universities there. My brother is at Manchester Uni and currently has to fly via Dubai or Delhi. Direct flights will be a blessing for students and their parents visiting them 🇮🇳🇬🇧

Interesting to see IndiGo expanding internationally while still using leased aircraft. The Dreamliner is comfortable but I wonder if they'll offer the same no-frills service as their domestic flights? Extra legroom would be appreciated on these long routes.

The Singapore tourism partnership is brilliant! IndiGo is becoming a truly global airline while keeping Indian travelers at its core. Next they should start flights to Canada - so many of us have family in Toronto and Vancouver!
