IndiGo to end Norse Atlantic 787-9 damp lease and withdraw from widebody operations in October

Bookmark this story

India’s IndiGo will discontinue its widebody operations from Oct. 25 and end its ACMI agreement with Norse Atlantic Airways on Oct. 31, returning five Boeing 787-9s. The decision brings an early end to the budget carrier’s long-haul experiment after difficulties operating European routes.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • IndiGo’s return of five leased 787-9s reverses a recently launched long-haul expansion and follows its decision to halt London and Amsterdam service, reducing its international widebody footprint.
  • The termination ends Norse Atlantic’s entire ACMI operation for IndiGo, with the aircraft to be redelivered to Norse; the move has direct implications for fleet deployment, lease utilization and European route capacity.
