Direct service ended

Post-effective-date verification (2 September 2026): IndiGo's own live booking engine shows zero IndiGo-operated (6E-operated) nonstop flight in either direction on this route across the full visible 2 September-1 October 2026 date range. Every Manchester-to-Delhi search result is Sold Out; the only bookable Delhi-to-Manchester result is a Turkish Airlines codeshare via Istanbul (IndiGo ticket, Turkish Airlines aircraft), not IndiGo's own widebody service. Corroborated by AeroRoutes' report that IndiGo filed to cancel this route in the OAG/GDS effective 1 September 2026, and by Manchester Airport's own live departures board showing no IndiGo departure among any of its 2 September 2026 flights. IndiGo's original release describes the discontinuation as temporary; no resumption date has been announced, and none is recorded here. No specific last-operating date is evidenced, so none is inferred — this event asserts only that the direct service has verifiably ended, not when the final flight actually operated.

Traveller tips for this route

Documents

OCI cardholders skip the e-Visa; others should apply early

OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) cardholders do not require a separate visa. Other UK passport holders need the standard e-Tourist or e-Business visa: apply at least 4 days ahead, earlier still during Diwali or December.

Baggage

Domestic Indian flight baggage allowances are often stricter

If your onward journey involves a domestic Indian flight, check the domestic baggage allowance separately from your international one. The two are frequently different, and it catches travellers out.
