IndiGo to launch Europe and UK flights from July

NEW DELHI: For the first time since Jet Airways' collapse, Air India will no longer be the only Indian airline with flights to Europe and the UK.

Expanding its footprint, IndiGo will from July 1 launch thrice weekly flights between Mumbai & Manchester. And from next day, IndiGo will start nonstops between Mumbai & Amsterdam. Both these thrice weekly routes will be launched using the wet leased Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners (hired with operating crew) of Norse Atlantic. With IndiGo going to add long hauls using its own and wet leased planes, international travellers to and from India will have more desi airlines to choose from.
