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.
