In a statement, IndiGo said it will become the first Indian airline to operate more than 2,000 flights a day by 2023.
After carrying 100 million passengers by 2023, India’s largest airline, IndiGo, has joined a select group of global airlines. Only a handful of airlines in the world carry more than 100 million passengers in a calendar year and IndiGo is the first Indian airline to do so.
“In calendar year 2022, the airline welcomed 78 million passengers on board (slightly higher than before Covid-19). IndiGo recently achieved another first for India, becoming the first airline to operate more than 2,000 flights per day. Today, IndiGo serves 118 destinations, including 32 international destinations,” the airline said in a statement.
IndiGo is India’s largest airline in both domestic and international segments. As of November, IndiGo had a domestic market share (in terms of passengers carried) of 61.8%, nearly six times the market share of second-place carrier Air India. In the international segment, IndiGo had a market share of 18.5% during July-September among all international airlines operating flights to and from India.
The airline is also in the process of expanding its network and fleet. Earlier this year, the airline placed its largest aircraft order ever, with an order for 500 Airbus A320 series aircraft. In addition to undelivered aircraft from previous orders, IndiGo currently has nearly 1,000 aircraft on order, scheduled for delivery over the next decade.
“In the past six months, IndiGo has added more than 20 new international routes to its network while also strengthening domestic connectivity. In the coming months, the airline aims to add destinations such as Bali, Indonesia and Medina, Saudi Arabia to its network and generate growth in the most financially and environmentally sound way possible. possible, IndiGo said.
IndiGo’s large aircraft orders and rapid network expansion reflect its optimism about the growth potential of the Indian aviation market, which has become the world’s third largest and is growing at breakneck speed. IndiGo’s increase in air passenger traffic reflects the rapid recovery that the Indian aviation industry has seen post-pandemic.
