IndiGo has announced key revisions to its international flight services, including the suspension of flights to Copenhagen and a reduction in frequencies to Manchester and London Heathrow. These changes are intended to enhance operational reliability and improve on-time performance for the airline.
Flight Service Changes Effective February 2026
Starting from February 17, 2026, IndiGo will suspend its services to Copenhagen indefinitely. The airline has faced numerous challenges that have prompted these operational adjustments, including airspace restrictions and increased congestion in Indian and overseas airports.

- Manchester:
- Current services from Delhi will decrease from five flights a week to four starting February 7, and then to three flights a week from February 19, 2026.
- Total weekly flights to Manchester will drop from nine to seven.
- London Heathrow:

Direct Flights to China Resume
In a positive development, IndiGo has resumed daily non-stop flights to China after a pause of over four years. This service was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent geopolitical tensions. The resumption aims to cater to the increasing demand for passenger and cargo traffic between India and China.
Customer Communication and Next Steps
IndiGo is proactively reaching out to customers impacted by these changes. The airline will offer alternate flights, refunds, and compensation where applicable. IndiGo continues to monitor the evolving external conditions that affect its flight operations.
This restructuring of services reflects IndiGo’s commitment to maintaining network stability and enhancing travel experiences for its passengers amidst ongoing challenges in global airspace management.
