Indian carrier IndiGo on Wednesday announced significant revisions to its long-haul flight schedule, citing the need to stabilise operations amid mounting external constraints. As part of these adjustments, the airline will suspend all services to Copenhagen effective February 17 and reduce the number of flights to London and Manchester.

Why IndiGo Said On Flight Operations?

In a statement, IndiGo said that its wide-body operations, currently operated by six Boeing 787-9 aircraft, have faced increasing pressure from geopolitical airspace restrictions and congestion at airports in India and overseas. These factors have increased flight and block times, straining the existing schedule.

As a part of these network adjustments, IndiGo will suspend flights to Copenhagen starting February 17 till further notice. The carrier has also announced to scale down its Delhi-Manchester services from five weekly flights to four on February 7, with a further reduction to three by February 19.

This move, which brings total Manchester services down from nine weekly flights to seven, was originally slated for the Summer Schedule 2026 but has been advanced to safeguard the stability of the airline's broader long-haul network.
