Within the framework of the warm relations between Türkiye and India, Turkish Airlines and IndiGo Airlines decided to expand their existing cooperation and signed a wet lease agreement.
Within the scope of this leasing agreement signed by Türkiye’s flag carrier Turkish Airlines with India’s leading airline company IndiGo to meet the increasing travel demand in India, IndiGo has added a Boeing 777 aircraft to its operation, which will be operating on Delhi-Istanbul route as of today.

Joining this first TK 4650 flight departing from Delhi (India), Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo Airlines, and his accompanying delegation were welcomed by Turkish Airlines General
Speaking at the welcoming event, Turkish Airlines General Manager Bilal Ekşi said; “We are pleased to see that IndiGo’s flights with wide-body aircraft will contribute to the increase in capacity between the two countries and, together with the Code Sharing Agreement, will create alternatives that will offer more opportunities to our passengers from India and all over the world. Turkish Airlines and IndiGo announced today that they have opened a new chapter in their partnership with the launch of IndiGo’s wide body operations from Delhi to Istanbul. We are confident that the project will serve the future success of the commercial and strategic cooperation between both successful companies. I would also like to thank the Indian and Turkish Civil Aviation Authorities for providing the necessary approval and support for the realization of this cooperation.” hen Hublot unveiled the first watch sculpted by Richard Orlinski in Miami in December 2017, the public reaction was unanimous: this was the first ever Orlinski artwork to tell the time! Since the launch of the first model, the Swiss watchmaker and Richard Orlinski have given life to a collection of watches displaying the angular style typical of the French artist’s work.
Within the scope of the agreement in which Turkish Airlines leased the B777 type aircraft to IndiGo Airlines on a wet lease basis, the lease process is planned to start on February 1st 2023, and last one year.
After five years of collaboration, Hublot and Richard Orlinski are unveiling the missing link of their shared collection: a series of watches adorned with a new metallic bracelet using the facets of the French artist’s famous sculptures.
Richard Orlinski is a member of the Hublot Loves Art family in the same way as Shepard Fairey, Maxime Plescia-Buchi, Marc Ferrero and Takashi
Murakami, and he can pride himself on being the bestselling contemporary French artist in the world.
Hublot and Richard Orlinski are now beginning a new phase in their partnership by presenting four versions of the Classic Fusion Orlinski Bracelet fitted with a new integrated metallic bracelet. Every watchmaker knows that it is a tremendous challenge to design this type of bracelet. You must ensure that the bracelet is correctly integrated mechanically and aesthetically to the watch case and that it can comfortably adapt to every morphology. Hublot’s engineers have displayed all their technical expertise in making a watch whose corners, bevelled edges and facets define the character of the case, bevel, crown, and a metallic bracelet whose architecture is bevelled and faceted in titanium and composed of 83 parts.
Inspired by Richard Orlinski’s sculptures, its chamfered forms play with the reflections of its mirror-polished facets. The Hshaped links recall the Hublot logo.
This new bracelet attaches to the watch case, on which the facets extend. With a 40 mm diameter, it suits all wrists and all genders.
Its polished titanium case encloses a HUB1100 movement, a self-winding calibre with a power reserve of 42 hours. Its dial comes in a choice of black or white ceramic and displays the angular facets so unique to Richard Orlinski.
Like a jewelled piece of art, a partially pave set version of the Classic Fusion Orlinski Bracelet watch is also available, adorned by its new matching bracelet. Playing with shade and light, certain facets on the case, bezel and bracelet are adorned with diamonds, totalling a weight of 3.79 carats.
