IndiGo Temporarily Suspends Manchester Route, Using North Atlantic Airways Wet Lease

IndiGo will temporarily suspend its flights to and from Manchester, United Kingdom.

The airline stated that demand had been very strong, but it decided on a temporary withdrawal due to extended flight times caused by airspace restrictions and a sharp rise in costs. IndiGo expects to resume operations on this route in the future.

The route had been launched with the aim of building brand recognition in the European market ahead of the introduction of IndiGo’s own Airbus A350 aircraft.

The service has been operated under a wet lease using aircraft and crew from Norway-based North Atlantic Airways. One aircraft will be returned on August 31. The remaining five aircraft will continue to operate as planned. North Atlantic Airways plans to deploy them on routes linking Europe and Thailand, strengthening its capacity on popular winter resort routes.
