IndiGo Flights: IndiGo, India’s largest airline operator, announced on Sunday, June 1, 2025, that it has signed agreements with Virgin Atlantic, Delta Air Lines, and Air France-KLM to expand its long-haul flight offerings. The low-cost carrier plans to extend its services to North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom by leveraging Virgin Atlantic’s UK and transatlantic routes, Air France-KLM’s strong presence in Europe and North America, and Delta’s extensive North American network.

“We are especially eager to connect with our partner networks and begin our long-haul expansion this summer to improve access to North America and Europe,” said IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers in an official statement. “This strategic partnership creates a strong combined offering through extensive intercontinental connectivity, a seamless travel experience, and enhanced loyalty value.”

Having partnered with Air France-KLM since 2022, IndiGo has now welcomed Delta Air into the alliance through this new agreement. Once all regulatory approvals are completed, IndiGo will allow its customers to book connecting flights on select international carriers directly through its website, streamlining the booking process.

This partnership will give IndiGo passengers access to Virgin Atlantic flights from Manchester to the United States, Delta and KLM flights from Amsterdam to destinations in the U.S. and Canada, and KLM flights from Amsterdam to 30 cities across Europe. According to the official release, Air France-KLM will begin operating IndiGo flights to 24 international destinations from Hyderabad after the new route launches in September 2025.
