Arendal, Norway, 2 June 2026 -- Norse Atlantic ASA ("Norse Atlantic" or the "Company") was notified by Interglobe Aviation Limited ("IndiGo") of the redelivery of one out of six aircraft operated on ACMI charter due to the closure of a UK route. The aircraft will be redelivered to Norse Atlantic 31 August 2026. IndiGo will continue to operate all its remaining aircraft leased from Norse Atlantic as planned.
Following redelivery, the aircraft will be deployed by Norse Atlantic in its upcoming winter program for direct flights between Europe and Thailand.
"With the additional aircraft, we look forward to deploying extra capacity on our successful and profitable Thailand routes. We also continue to strengthen our strong partnership with IndiGo and have jointly initiated a strategic collaboration project to assess new and deeper cooperation", says Eivind Roald, CEO of Norse Atlantic.
Abhijit Dasgupta, Senior Vice President - Network Planning & Revenue Management, IndiGo, says, "We inducted these leased wide-body aircraft to fast-track our connectivity to high potential long-haul destinations such as Manchester and witnessed very encouraging demand response. It is, therefore, unfortunate that longer flying times due to airspace constraints combined with dramatically escalating costs compelled us to take the decision to discontinue India - Manchester services. The response and support for these services have reinforced our belief in the opportunity for IndiGo's long-haul ambitions, and we are convinced that this discontinuation is temporary. We look forward to serving this route again at the earliest viable opportunity and are exploring innovative solutions to continuing our collaboration with Norse Atlantic Airways."
Norse Atlantic commenced ACMI operations for IndiGo in March 2025, with a total of six Boeing 787-9 aircraft progressively deployed through early 2026.
