IndiGo has announced an increase in flight frequencies on its recently launched European routes from Mumbai to both Amsterdam and Manchester. The Indian budget carrier also expanded its codeshare agreement with Netherlands-based KLM.
Citing an “outstanding response” to its long-haul flights, IndiGo will increase its flights between Mumbai and Amsterdam to six-times weekly starting September 20 before further increasing it to daily from October 13.
Services between Mumbai and Manchester will be increased to four-times weekly from September 22.
The service increases on the Mumbai-Amsterdam and Mumbai-Manchester routes comes after the launch of the two long-haul routes by IndiGo during the start of July. IndiGo has used the first damp-leased Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft from Norse Atlantic Airways on the two routes. The airline expects to boost services on the route using five additional 787-9s expected to arrive in the middle of September.
Expansion of codeshare agreement with KLM
In addition to the flight frequency increase on the Mumbai-Amsterdam route, IndiGo also announced an expansion of its codeshare agreement with KLM.
Under the agreement, IndiGo will place its 6E flight code on KLM-operated routes from Amsterdam to 30 destinations in Europe and the United Kingdom (UK). Among the cities covered in the agreement include Paris, Berlin, Geneva, Madrid, Brussels, London, Helsinki, Oslo, Prague, and Stockholm.
IndiGo first launched their partnership in 2022, providing KLM customers access to 24 destinations on IndiGo's network. The newly announced agreement builts upon the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between IndiGo, Delta Airlines, Air France-KLM, and Virgin Atlantic signed in June to offer connecting options in North America, the UK, Europe, India, and beyond
