“What we have now done is we have made kind of groups of products depending on the routes we operate. So the product we have now on Manchester, we can also use the same for London or for Copenhagen.
“And the product we have on domestic sectors, we can just keep adding domestic sectors. So there’s some change internally,” he noted.
According to him, the aim is to make Indian passengers feel at home and non-Indian passengers have a flight on IndiGo that will also be the start of their journey to India.
“So, it should be sort of contemporary Indian or Indian with a global twist type of approach. I think that is what’s the objective,” Elbers said.
For the long haul operations, IndiGo is damp leasing six wide-body Boeing 787-9 aircraft from Norway’s Norse Atlantic Airways.
Currently, one of them is being used for the three weekly flights each to Manchester and Amsterdam from Mumbai.
Elbers said IndiGo expects to take three more planes from Norse Atlantic in October-November time frame and the remaining two are expected to come in the first quarter of 2026.
The airline is set to induct long range narrow-body A321 XLR planes by the end of this year or early 2026 and this aircraft will allow the carrier to add destinations like Athens.
