New Delhi: IndiGo will soon boost the number of its flights from Mumbai and Delhi to Manchester, strengthening air connectivity between India and the United Kingdom, according to the airline’s official statement.

IndiGo’s service between Mumbai and Manchester marked the airline’s long-haul debut on July 1, 2025. The airline said it had been encouraged by the positive response to these flights and the strong demand for travel between India and the UK. Last week, IndiGo announced it would begin direct flights between Delhi and Manchester starting November 15, 2025.

In addition, 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.

The Delhi - Manchester - Delhi service will increase from four to five flights weekly starting November 15, 2025, while the Mumbai - Manchester - Mumbai route will rise from three to four flights weekly from November 17, 2025.

IndiGo said this represents a 28 percent increase in non-stop capacity between India and Manchester.

Which aircraft will operate these routes?

According to the statement, these routes are currently or will be operated using IndiGo's Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, which provide enhanced comfort, efficiency, and reliability for long-haul travel.

Why is the UK-India route important?

The airline said 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,” the statement noted.

IndiGo added that this opportunity aligns with its broader vision of connecting India to key destinations globally, offering affordable fares, reliable operations, and seamless connectivity.

What benefits will passengers see?

Aligned with IndiGo's aim to make travel between the UK and India more accessible than ever, the frequency addition will offer customers greater flexibility, improved connectivity, and more travel options, the airline said.
