Mumbai: InterGlobe Aviation promoted budget carrier IndiGo has plans to start flights to Yangon (Myanmar), Istanbul (Turkey), Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) and Gatwick (London), sources in the know of the airline’s international expansion plans has told FE. It is not clear though whether the airline will launch these flights in the winter schedule or in the next calendar year.
IndiGo, in a communication on internal job postings (IJP), sent on September 3, has asked its employees to apply for certain positions for functions at the following airports — London, Gatwick, Yangon International Airport and Riyadh. The airline will close the applications as early as September 10 for all these stations.
“Basically if there is hiring through IJP it means that the airline will mount flights to these destinations otherwise it will not allocate resources,” said an airline executive.
Simultaneously, IndiGo is also sending its pilots for training for the Airbus A321LRs that its management has stated will induct by the end of this year. This aircraft type, that can fly longer distances than the existing fleet of A320s of IndiGo will be deployed to fly to some of these destinations. Pilots close to the development confirmed to FE that Istanbul too is one of the destinations the airline is looking to fly to soon.
