IndiGo inks pact with Norse Atlantic Airways
May-09-2025

InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) has inked an agreement with Norwegian low-cost carrier Norse Atlantic Airways for damp leasing two more Boeing Dreamliner 787- aircraft bolstering its wide-body fleet. 

Norse Atlantic in November last year had announced signing a Letter of Intent for six such planes with a reputable airline. IndiGo is expanding its international footprint with plans to launch direct flights to Europe amid the rising international traffic from India. These aircraft, the fifth and sixth in this partnership, are expected to start operations by early 2026, serving long-haul routes out of India.

In a damp lease, the lessor provides the maintenance along with the aircraft but not the crew and insurance. The damp lease of these three planes is initially for six months as per the pact but can be extended up to 18 months, subject to regulatory approvals. The total number of wide-body aircraft under this strategic collaboration now stands at six, one of which has already arrived and is operating on IndiGo's Delhi-Bangkok route from March 1 this year. 

InterGlobe Aviation provides air transportation services in India and internationally. The company primarily operates IndiGo passenger airline.
