IndiGo has officially entered Scandinavia with its first direct service between Mumbai and Copenhagen, launched on October 8, 2025. The move marks a major step in IndiGo’s growing international network, connecting India with Northern Europe’s busiest airport.
This new route follows IndiGo’s recent launches to Manchester and Amsterdam, signalling the airline’s steady push into long-haul operations using leased Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.
Strengthening India–Europe Connectivity
The Mumbai–Copenhagen link is more than a flight route. It connects two regions with expanding trade, tourism, and cultural ties. Travellers from India gain easier access to destinations across the Nordic region, while passengers from Scandinavia can connect effortlessly to IndiGo’s extensive Indian network of over 90 destinations.
IndiGo’s CEO Pieter Elbers called it a “strategic gateway” to the Nordic region, reinforcing the airline’s vision of becoming a truly global player.
IndiGo Mumbai-Copenhagen Flight Schedule
The new Mumbai–Copenhagen route will operate three times a week, offering convenient early-morning departures from Mumbai and midday returns from Copenhagen, perfectly timed for both business and leisure travellers.
Sector | Flight No. | Days of Operation | Departure | Arrival |
---|---|---|---|---|
Mumbai – Copenhagen | 6E 0041 | Thrice Weekly | 04:35 | 10:05 |

Diplomatic Voices Welcome the Move
Both Indian and Danish diplomats hailed the new connection as a milestone in strengthening bilateral relations.
Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen, Denmark’s Ambassador to India, said the route is a “tangible symbol of the strong partnership” between the two countries.
Manish Prabhat, India’s Ambassador to Denmark, added that the new link will “boost business, cultural, and tourist ties” under the India–Denmark Green Strategic Partnership established in 2020.
Christian Poulsen, CEO of Copenhagen Airports, welcomed IndiGo to Northern Europe, calling the route “a major win for travellers and trade.”
