IndiGo Announces Direct Daily Flights Between Mumbai and Heathrow: Connecting One City of Dreams with Another
Direct, daily flights between Mumbai and Heathrow, IndiGo’s 45th international destination, to commence from 26 October 2025
National, 06 October 2025: IndiGo, India’s most preferred airline, is set to launch direct, daily flights between Mumbai and London Heathrow Airport (LHR), Europe’s largest aviation hub and the world’s most connected airport. IndiGo’s foray into London, starting 26 October 2025, will be the next big step in its global expansion strategy making London its second destination in the United Kingdom, following the successful launch of services between Mumbai and Manchester earlier this year.
The flights will be operated daily using IndiGo’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner taken on wet/ damp lease from Norse Atlantic Airways, offering a dual-class configuration including Economy Class and IndiGo’s tailor-made business product, IndiGoStretch. IndiGo will offer complimentary hot meals and beverages inspired by local and global flavours to all customers on this route. Additionally, alcoholic beverages can be purchased by customers on-board the Economy cabin and will be offered with compliments to IndiGoStretch customers. All seats feature seatback screens for inflight entertainment with nearly 300 hours of engaging content. Bookings are now open across all platforms including www.goIndiGo.in, the mobile app, and authorized travel partners.
Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer, IndiGo, said, “Entering Heathrow, a key global hub known for its scale and connectivity, is both a proud milestone and a strategic step forward in strengthening IndiGo’s global footprint. The India-United Kingdom corridor has long held significant relevance, not only because of strong bilateral ties, but also due to the growing traffic between the two countries driven by students, visiting friends and relatives, business and leisure travellers. After the outstanding response to our long- haul debut flights to Manchester, we are excited to set foot in London, offering more travel options for our customers while reinforcing our commitment to provide seamless connectivity between India and the world.”
Ross Baker, Heathrow’s Chief Customer Officer, said: “We are pleased to welcome IndiGo’s new daily service between Mumbai and Heathrow. As the UK’s international gateway, this new route will further strengthen the vital ties between the UK and India, creating opportunities for trade, tourism and cultural exchange. We look forward to supporting IndiGo’s international growth while offering passengers more choice when travelling between these two world-class cities.”
A strategic milestone: Gaining access to Heathrow
Heathrow offers unparalleled global connectivity, making it a critical link for Indian travellers—both business and leisure. The airport's central geographic location serves as a natural gateway to the UK, Europe, and transatlantic routes, and IndiGo’s entry into Heathrow is poised to offer smoother, more direct travel options for customers flying between India and western markets. The new service will also
provide travellers from the west with seamless access to 90+ destinations across IndiGo’s extensive domestic network and many international destinations in South and South-east Asia, Central Asia etc. With Mumbai being the financial capital of India, and London – a leading global financial centre, this new, non-stop route will further complement the trade and economic ties between the two countries.
