We introduce slant lightlike submersions from an indefinite almost Hermitian manifold into a lightlike manifold. We establish the existence theorems for these submersions and investigate the necessary and sufficient conditions for the leaves of the distributions to be totally geodesic foliations in indefinite almost Hermitian manifolds.
