India's largest airline, IndiGo, has announced that it will temporarily discontinue its services to Manchester in the United Kingdom from August 31, citing rising operational challenges and increasing costs. The move comes as the carrier continues to grapple with financial pressures and operational disruptions linked to international airspace restrictions. The airline currently connects Manchester with both Delhi and Mumbai. These services were launched in July last year as part of IndiGo's efforts to strengthen its long-haul international network. In a statement, the airline said: "Due to continuing international airspace constraints leading to significantly increased flight duration and a challenging cost environment, IndiGo is having to temporarily discontinue its flight operations to and from Manchester with effect from 31 August 2026."
