IndiGo to start 6 weekly direct flights on Athens route by early January 2026
Sep-15-2025

Interglobe Aviation (IndiGo) is all set to bring home India's first Airbus A321 XLR aircraft by the end of 2025, and begin six weekly direct flights to Athens, Greece by early January 2026, subject to regulatory approval.  The airline would launch its flight services to 10 international destinations this financial year. This will make IndiGo the only Indian carrier to offer direct flights between India and Greece. 

On the receipt of the appropriate approvals, the airline intends to connect Athens to both Delhi and Mumbai, with operations of three weekly nonstops on both routes. The next-generation narrow-body A321 XLR is designed for longer ranges, allowing IndiGo to expand deeper into Europe, while maintaining the cost-efficiency of a single-aisle fleet. The aircraft will have a two-class configuration -- economy and business (IndiGoStretch). With a range of up to 8,700 km, the XLR opens access to destinations previously beyond the reach of narrow-body operations, enabling non-stop flights from India to Southern Europe with greater efficiency. 

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