IndiGo to launch direct Delhi–London Heathrow flights starting February 2026

IndiGo on Wednesday announced new direct flights between Delhi and London Heathrow, starting February 2, 2026, expanding its international network from the national capital. The airline will operate five flights a week on the route, taking its total weekly services to London to 12.

The airline said it will deploy Boeing 787 aircraft on the Delhi–London route, taken on wet or damp lease from Norse Atlantic Airways. The flights will offer a dual-class configuration with IndiGoStretch and Economy Class. IndiGo already operates daily direct flights between Mumbai and London Heathrow.

The new route is part of IndiGo’s broader expansion of international connectivity from Delhi. In recent months, the airline has launched direct services from the capital to destinations including Denpasar (Bali), Krabi, Hanoi, Guangzhou and Manchester. It has also announced the start of direct flights to Athens from January 2026.


Alongside the expansion from Delhi, IndiGo said it has added 10 new international destinations and over 30 new international routes from different cities in India over the past 12 months as part of its international growth plans.
