IndiGo is set to launch direct, daily flights between Mumbai and London Heathrow Airport (LHR), Europe’s largest aviation hub and the world’s most connected airport. IndiGo’s foray into London, starting October 26, 2025, will be the next big step in its global expansion strategy, making London its second destination in the United Kingdom, following the successful launch of services between Mumbai and Manchester earlier this year.
Flight 6E 0001 will depart Mumbai at 14:45 hrs and arrive in London at 19:20 hrs, while the return service, 6E 0002, will depart London at 21:30 hrs and land in Mumbai at 11:45 hrs the following day (+1).
The flights will be operated daily using IndiGo’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, taken on wet/ damp lease from Norse Atlantic Airways, offering a dual-class configuration including Economy Class and IndiGo’s tailor-made business product, IndiGoStretch. IndiGo will offer complimentary hot meals and beverages inspired by local and global flavours to all customers on this route. Additionally, alcoholic beverages can be purchased by customers on board the Economy cabin and will be offered with compliments to IndiGoStretch customers. All seats feature seatback screens for in-flight entertainment with nearly 300 hours of engaging content.
Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer, IndiGo, said, “Entering Heathrow, a key global hub known for its scale and connectivity, is both a proud milestone and a strategic step forward in strengthening IndiGo’s global footprint. The India-United Kingdom corridor has long held significant relevance, not only because of strong bilateral ties, but also due to the growing traffic between the two countries driven by students, visiting friends and relatives, business and leisure travellers. After the outstanding response to our long-haul debut flights to Manchester, we are excited to set foot in London, offering more travel options for our customers while reinforcing our commitment to provide seamless connectivity between India and the world.”
Ross Baker, Heathrow’s Chief Customer Officer, said, “We are pleased to welcome IndiGo’s new daily service between Mumbai and Heathrow. As the UK’s international gateway, this new route will further strengthen the vital ties between the UK and India, creating opportunities for trade, tourism and cultural exchange. We look forward to supporting IndiGo’s international growth while offering passengers more choice when travelling between these two world-class cities.”
With Heathrow’ global connectivity and Mumbai’s status as India’s financial capital, the new service is expected to not only benefit leisure and corporate travellers but also deepen trade and economic ties between India and the UK. Moreover, it will provide seamless one-stop connections for passengers from the West into IndiGo’s vast network of 90+ domestic and several international destinations across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia.
