IndiGo continues to expand its long-haul operation, with the airline planning to launch a route to Copenhagen, Denmark.
The new route will launch on the 8th October 2025, flying three times a week.
Planned operations are as follows:
6E041 DEPART BOM 04:35 ARRIVE CPH 10:05 6E042 DEPART CPH 12:30 ARRIVE BOM 00:30+1 Commences 8th October 2025 Operates three times a week Operates Wednedays, Fridays and Sundays in both directions Book Equipment: Boeing 787-9
IndiGo will operate the route thrice weekly on the route using its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, taken on wet/damp lease from Norse Atlantic Airways.
With this, IndiGo further expands its international network into Northern Europe, making Copenhagen its 44th international and 138th overall destination.
Customers, on this route, will have the option of flying in Economy class as well as IndiGoStretch – its business class product. Passengers can enjoy complimentary hot meals and beverages along with in-flight entertainment offering close to 300 hours of content.
The flights are now open for sale on all platforms, including IndiGo’s website, mobile app, and across authorised travel partners.

Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer, IndiGo, said:
“With growing demand for travel between India and Northern Europe, we are delighted to connect Mumbai to Copenhagen, marking IndiGo’s entry into the Scandinavian region. This expansion strengthens our presence in Europe, offering Copenhagen as a gateway to the Nordic region for Indian travellers. With every new international destination – Copenhagen being our 44th – we are inching closer to our vision of being a trusted global airline, giving wings to the nation, and increasingly to the world.”
More to come
Indigo is making some serious plays into its long-haul network as it prepares to expand further. Recently, the airline signed a codeshare agreement with Aegean Airlines of Greece, whilst setting out its first Airbus A321XLR routes to Athens as part of its launch plans, as the airline starts its long-haul routes for itself, rather than relying on leased equipment.
The airline has a lot of growth plans too, with 30 Airbus A350-900s and 69 Airbus A321XLRs on the way (as well as the leased long-haul aircraft from Norse Atlantic and Turkish Airlines, which the airline currently uses on its longer routes)
As the airline presses forward with its expansion, there are going to be lots of routes the airline’s team will examine and evaluate to see which are viable to operate.
Exciting times ahead for the airline.
