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 and is operating on IndiGo&#8217;s Delhi\u2013Bangkok route since 1 March 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IndiGo CEO Peter Elbers says: \u201cWe are pleased to deepen our partnership with Norse Atlantic Airways by signing our third agreement for the additional Boeing 787-9 aircraft. This move reinforces our commitment to international growth, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During its financial year, from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, IndiGo carried more than 118 million passengers. IndiGo flies domestic and regional short to medium-haul services out of India. To support 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial term of the lease is six months, extendable up to 18 months, and is subject to regulatory approvals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*Damp Lease is defined as a wet-leased aircraft that includes a cockpit crew but not cabin attendants \u2014&nbsp;
