IndiGo will suspend London Heathrow flights and end its Norse Atlantic damp lease, citing airspace constraints, fuel costs and currency pressure. The Indian airline expects to resume more efficient long-haul operations after receiving Airbus A350-900 aircraft.

Why this matters

The move extends recent IndiGo signals that flagged a London service suspension from October 25 and the end of Norse Boeing 787 wide-body leasing.
