IndiGo’s one-stop flights to Europe from March, likely via Tbilisi/Baku

NEW DELHI: Low cost IndiGo is eyeing

Tbilisi

and Baku, the capitals of Georgia and

Azerbaijan

respectively, as the mid-way stopover to launch one-stop flights between India and European cities like London Gatwick from next March. The airline is looking at

Istanbul

but given higher airport charges there, the onestop flights to and from Europe may be via these two cities.


TAV Holdings, that operates Tbilisi airport, said in a statement: “From February 2019, IndiGo plans to launch flights between India and Georgia. The airline had shown its interest in the Georgian aviation market back in the summer of 2018. The meetings with the Georgian side in August were organised by TAV Holding.”

IndiGo recently converted its order for 125 Airbus A320 new engine option (Neo) into the bigger A321 Neos that have a range of flying up to 7,400 km. IndiGo now has 150 A321 Neos on order, the first of which is expected to join its fleet this month. IndiGo has slots at London Gatwick and is likely to start one-stop flights there by next summer.
