. NEW DELHI: After Air India, IndiGo will also cut its wide bod operations due to costlier jet fuel, longer routes post airspace restrictions and forex volatility. IndiGo will “temporarily discontinue its flight operations to and from Manchester from Aug 31, 2026” and return one of the six damp leased (hired with operating crew) Boeing 787 Dreamliners to Europe’s Norse Atlantic Airways. The budget airline says it “will continue to operate all its remaining long-haul flights as planned.”IndiGo had damp leased six Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft from Norse Atlantic in early 2025 to “make strategic inroads to establish the IndiGo brand in the European market, ahead of the commencement of services using its own Airbus A350 aircraft.” But the increase in operating costs following the US-Iran war has led to the same “being considerably higher than originally envisaged.”Abhijit Dasgupta, IndiGo senior VP (network planning and revenue management, IndiGo, said: “We inducted these wide-body aircraft on a short-term basis to fast-track our connectivity to high potential long-haul destinations such as Manchester, and witnessed very encouraging demand response. It is, therefore, unfortunate that longer flying times due to airspace constraints coupled with dramatically escalating costs compelled us to take the decision to temporarily discontinue our India – Manchester services…. this discontinuation is temporary in nature.”Air India also continues to significantly cut its wide body operations due to the same reasons.

Siddaramaiah (File photo) NEW DELHI: The Congress on Tuesday announced the appointment of former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah to the Congress Working Committee (CWC), the party’s top decision-making body. In a statement, Congress general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal said, “Hon’ble Congress president has appointed Shri Siddaramaiah as Member of the CWC with immediate effect.” The appointment comes just days after Siddaramaiah stepped down as chief minister, marking the end of his record-long tenure of over eight years across two terms.His appointment as a CWC member also came on the eve of the swearing-in ceremony of his long-time rival and now-former deputy, DK Shivakumar, who is set to take oath as the new chief minister.Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar were involved in a long-running internal tussle over the post, often taking indirect swipes at each other. Their rivalry stemmed from an alleged understanding with the Congress leadership after the party’s May 2023 Karnataka assembly election victory. Under this reported arrangement, Shivakumar was said to have been assured the chief minister’s post for the latter half of the government’s five-year term, while the party initially chose veteran leader Siddaramaiah to head the government.The tussle escalated after Siddaramaiah continued even after the first 2.5-year mark was reached in November 2025.Last week, the Congress leadership finally resolved the matter, deciding to honour its “commitment” to Shivakumar, who also serves as the Karnataka unit president of the party.Siddaramaiah had reportedly declined a Rajya Sabha seat, choosing instead to remain active in state politics.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
