In this article, we introduce several new extensions of Darbo’s fixed point theorem with newly constructed contraction functions associated with the measure of noncompactness. We apply our new extensions to prove the existence of solutions for a system of weighted fractional integral equations in Banach space . At the end, we establish an example to show the applicability of our discovery.

1. Introduction
A lot of problems in real life can be described or characterized using fractional calculus. Fractional calculus has numerous and crucial applications in many fields of science and engineering. In the study of nonlinear analysis, fractional integral equations () are highly helpful. Researchers can use the fixed point theory () to investigate whether solutions to various kinds of fractional integral equations exist. One of the key ideas in is the measure of noncompactness (). Kuratowski [1] originally introduced the concept of in 1930, and it is highly helpful in . In 1955, Darbo [2] finished an expansion of Schauder’s fixed point theorem with the help of Kuratowski’s . Numerous authors have developed different kinds of new research papers incorporating and , inspired by the work of Darbo (see [3,4,5]). Mathematicians have lately investigated the
solvability of several in different spaces using (see [6,7,8,9]).
