IndiGo, India’s preferred airline, is further expanding its long-haul capabilities by signing another firm agreement with Norse Atlantic Airways to lease two additional Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft damply. The partnership expects the fifth and sixth aircraft to begin operations by early 2026, providing long-haul routes from India.

This agreement builds upon the existing partnership between IndiGo and Norse Atlantic Airways. Earlier this year, IndiGo signed firm contracts for the damp lease of one Boeing 787-9 aircraft, followed by another firm agreement in quick succession for three more Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.  The total number of wide-body aircraft under this strategic collaboration now stands at six, one of which has already arrived. It operates on IndiGo’s Delhi–Bangkok route from March 1, 2025.

Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, says, “We are pleased to deepen our partnership with Norse Atlantic Airways by signing our third agreement to add two more Boeing 787-9 aircraft. This move reinforces our commitment to international growth and our customers, promising to introduce more options on long-haul routes. As we accelerate towards our vision of becoming a global airline by 2030, this partnership enables us to bolster our wide-body operations while staying rooted in our India-first approach.”

The initial term of the lease is six months, but it is extendable up to 18 months and is subject to regulatory approvals.

This continued momentum underscores IndiGo’s commitment to offering world-class travel experiences while unlocking new global destinations for Indian travellers.
