IndiGo has been granted a one-time extension for three months by DGCA to operate two B777-300 ER aircraft under damp lease from Turkish Airlines.
This decision comes amidst a backdrop of tension as Turkiye backed Pakistan and condemned India's strikes on terror camps, leading to security concerns.
BCAS revoked the security clearance for Turkish company Celebi Airport Services India Pvt Ltd, causing some online travel portals and associations to issue advisories against visiting Turkiye.
IndiGo has been directed not to seek any further extension and must terminate the damp lease with Turkish Airlines by August 31, 2025, as per the regulatory statement.
