India origin airline IndiGo, which has recently been in the news for being named ‘Best Airline in India and South Asia’ at the 2025 Skytrax World Airline Awards, is all set for a new chapter. The airline has recently introduced plans to start direct flights to London Heathrow from October 26, 2025. This will be IndiGo’s first non-stop service to the UK’s busiest airport and a major step in its journey toward global growth.

IndiGo’s new plans will offer more choices to the people flying between India and the UK. With low prices and easy booking, it’s great news for travelers. IndiGo will operate Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner planes for this route, which are leased from Norse Atlantic Airways. These wide-body planes are well-known for their comfort, especially on long-haul routes.
While IndiGo hasn’t revealed the exact Indian departure city yet, all signs point toward a major hub—most likely Delhi or Mumbai.

IndiGo’s plan for expansion is not limited to just direct routes to London from India. It has already started direct flights to cities like Manchester and Amsterdam, and is working closely with major international airlines such as Delta, Jetstar, Virgin Atlantic, and Air France-KLM. These partnerships will make it easier for Indian travelers to connect to destinations across Europe, North America, and even Australia.
IndiGo also has its sights on new destinations. Routes to places like Athens, Copenhagen, and Central Asia are in the pipeline.

For passengers on this route, a direct flight means shorter travel time, fewer layovers, and better pricing. On the other hand, the airlines that are dominating this route will also be challenged to provide better services at more affordable prices.

Comfort with a Focus on Value

IndiGo is already known for its on-time performance and pocket-friendly fares. With an increase in international travelers flying each year, the airline is stepping up its services. Under its new "IndiGoStretch" category, the carrier plans to bring added comfort features. However, in the initial phase, the flights will mainly offer economy seating with standard comfort options.
Even without premium upgrades, the airline has proven itself reliable and budget-friendly. And they are planning to conquer the UK-India aerospace market with the same approach, which is expected to appeal to both business and holiday travelers.
