Strategic Connectivity: Delhi To Manchester
According to the press release, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) serves as one of India’s leading global gateways, and this new service marks the start of IndiGo’s long-haul services from this airport.
Manchester Airport, the UK’s leading international hub outside London, acts as the primary gateway to Northern England, offering seamless connectivity to cities such as Leeds, Liverpool, and Newcastle. By connecting these two airports, IndiGo is not only strengthening connectivity between India and the UK but also contributing towards the growth in trade, tourism, and cultural exchange between the two countries.
