IndiGo will terminate its wet lease agreement with Turkish Airlines by August 31, 2025, following a final three-month extension granted by India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The lease, involving two Boeing 777-300ER aircraft operated on routes between Delhi, Mumbai, and Istanbul, faced scrutiny after Turkey expressed support for Pakistan during recent India-Pakistan tensions. IndiGo's request for a six-month extension was denied, with the DGCA approving a shorter period to minimize passenger disruption. The airline has committed not to seek further extensions, aligning with government directives to curtail business ties with Turkey. (PC: India Today)
