DGCA allows IndiGo to wet lease wide-body planes from Turkish Airlines for up to six months: Report

27 Oct 2022 Evaluate

Aviation regulator the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has reportedly allowed InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) to wet lease wide-body Boeing planes from Turkish Airlines for up to six months and has rejected the domestic carrier's request for leasing the aircraft for up to two years.

The DGCA turned down the request of the country's largest airline to wet lease the aircraft for a longer period, citing that the move could become diversion of traffic rights in collusion with a strong foreign carrier that will mainly feed the latter's hub abroad with more passengers from India.

IndiGo, which currently has only narrow-body planes in its fleet, decided to lease wide-body aircraft to operate more flights on international routes to meet rising demand.

InterGlobe Aviation provides air transportation services in India and internationally. The company primarily operates IndiGo passenger airline.
