IndiGo, India’s leading airline, will expand its international network by introducing widebody aircraft on the Delhi-Bangkok route starting from March 1, 2025. This marks a significant step in the airline’s ongoing internationalisation strategy. To meet the growing demand for air travel, IndiGo has temporarily leased a Boeing B787-9 widebody aircraft from Norse Atlantic. This aircraft will operate on the route until IndiGo’s delivery of XLRs in FY2026 and A350s in 2027.

In line with its vision of promoting Indian brands globally, IndiGo will offer its premium IndiGoStretch product on this route. Customers can look forward to specially curated meals prepared by Oberoi Catering Services’ expert chefs, along with exclusive beverages by Sula Vineyards, an iconic Indian brand. This collaboration signifies IndiGo’s continued effort to take the best of India to the world.

Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, commented, "The early induction of widebody aircraft is a significant milestone in IndiGo’s growth. As demand for travel increases, we aim to provide a seamless and premium experience. We are delighted to offer IndiGoStretch on the Delhi-Bangkok route following its positive reception domestically."

IndiGo’s widebody aircraft will feature 56 IndiGoStretch seats in a comfortable 2x3x2 configuration with a 43-inch seat pitch. The economy class offers 282 seats in a 3x3x3 configuration, ensuring a relaxed experience with a 31-inch seat pitch. In addition, IndiGoStretch customers will enjoy benefits such as priority check-in, advance seat selection, extra baggage allowance, and complimentary services to enhance their travel.

With this expansion, IndiGo continues its journey towards global growth while strengthening its commitment to offering quality and premium services to travellers.
