IndiGo to discontinue Manchester flights from Aug 31

New Delhi, Jun 2 (PTI) IndiGo on Tuesday announced discontinuing its flights to Manchester from August 31 due to escalating operational costs and airspace restrictions.

Following the decision, the airline would also be returning one Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft taken on lease to Norse Atlantic Airways.

Currently, the carrier operates flights to Manchester (UK) from Delhi and Mumbai.

“Due to continuing international airspace constraints leading to significantly increased flight duration and a challenging cost environment, IndiGo is having to temporarily discontinue its flight operations to and from Manchester with effect from 31 August 2026,” the airline said in a statement.

The services to Manchester were started in July last year. PTI RAM IAS
