The existing lease agreement with Norse Atlantic Airways will also be terminated by October 31, 2026. The airline cited rising costs and geopolitical tensions as factors behind this decision.

What is the situation for passengers?
Abhijit Dasgupta, IndiGo’s senior vice president, said the company remains focused on international expansion.

IndiGo will fully assist passengers whose bookings are affected with alternative travel options or refunds.
