IndiGo, India’s preferred airline, has announced another Firm Agreement with Norse Atlantic Airways for the amp lease of three Boeing 787-9 aircraft. These aircraft will arrive in India in the second half of 2025 and will serve long-haul routes out of India. This significant milestone affirms IndiGo’s strategic commitment to broadening its global presence and offering its customers a wider range of travel opportunities.
On February 6, 2025, IndiGo signed a firm damp lease agreement with Norse Atlantic for one Boeing 787-9. The delivery of this aircraft is on track, and it is scheduled to start operations on the airline’s Delhi-Bangkok route from March 1, 2025.
These additional three (3) damp leases will bring the total to four (4), and IndiGo and Norse will continue to explore opportunities to broaden cooperation and the possibility of contracting more aircraft.
Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, says, “We are delighted to confirm the extension of our partnership with Norse Atlantic Airways for the damp lease of an additional three Boeing 787-9 aircraft. This will help us make strategic inroads and establish the brand in the European market. As we execute our broader strategy to strengthen and extend our international network, we are steadily advancing towards our vision of becoming a global player by 2030, firmly rooted in India and driven by continuous expansion.”
The initial term of the Agreement is six months, extendable to up to 18 months, subject to regulatory approvals. Both Parties remain committed to exploring opportunities to extend this period further. IndiGo and Norse will continue exploring opportunities to contract additional aircraft and increase collaboration.
IndiGo is consistently expanding its global footprint to cater to the growing demand for international travel to and from India. The airline is committed to providing an exceptional travel experience to its customers across the domestic and global networks. To support and accelerate its long-haul expansion, IndiGo has placed a firm order for 30 Airbus 350-900 wide-body aircraft with an option for an additional 70 aircraft, with deliveries expected to commence in 2027.
