Manchester: Indigo News & Flight Discussions

Something which Virgin should have tapped into… and made work. But failed.

Good on them for expanding.

Yep it does feel like a missed opportunity for Virgin

Manchester, VFR to India, a transit hub, and expanded ops in MAN… all are hugely missed opportunities. Alas we both don’t run the airline. Otherwise I’d of based 6-8 aircraft there.

in light of the Virgin/Delta/Indigo tie-up, it's probably best that Virgin aren't doing any routes to India so that they can concentrate on planning a new transatlantic route.

This could work very well for Virgin

I believe IndiGo will codeshare on the Virgin TX flights from MAN?

 

[Land23R]

Further update from Sean M on X. Now 9 weekly flights.
5 to Delhi and 4 to Mumbai.
2 flights on Monday and Saturday I believe.

Has anyone else noticed the Indigo flights are always heavily delayed?

It seems to be due to a lack of downtime on the 787 schedule, which means that there is little opportunity to recover the schedule when things go wrong. As a result every delay becomes magnified.

6E33 has been severely delayed every day this week

Makes sense, surely with how much it’ll cost them in compensation (and lost bookings but difficult to quantify) they’ll consider scaling back and not running before they walk?

SPD Travel has tweeted that Indigo are dropping MAN at the end of August, and LHR at the end of October. Looks like the new head honcho doesn’t fancy long haul- could also have big implications for Norse.

Really not surprised by this, most ventures associated with Norse go the same way !

SPD reporting that Indigo will finish MAN routes at the end of August. Norse to redeploy their aircraft on Thailand routes but not sure of origin.

Hopefully someone steps in. Seems like a no brainer with load factors and one stop middle east issues still to be resolved.

Indigo ending long haul flights using Norse Atlantic.
