IndiGo-Turkish Airlines Deal Renewal Unlikely

New Delhi: The government is unlikely to extend the commercial airline IndiGo’s leasing agreement with Turkish Airlines due to strained diplomatic relations following Turkey’s open support for Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor launched by India to avenge the killings of 26 tourists. The current pact, which enables IndiGo to operate wide-body aircraft on the Delhi-Istanbul route, expires on May 31.
