Interglobe Aviation Ltd (Indigo) is India’s largest passenger airline operating as a low-cost carrier. Serving 86 destinations including 24 international destinations, it provides passengers with a simple, unbundled product, fulfilling its singular brand promise of providing “low fares, on-time flights, and a courteous and hassle-free service” to its customers. IndiGo commenced operations in August 2006 with a single aircraft and has grown its fleet to 262 aircrafts.
IndiGo announced Willie Walsh has taken charge as CEO. With over four decades of global aviation experience, Walsh will lead the airline's next phase of international expansion, global growth, and operational excellence. This is a significant leadership development.
IndiGo is ending its wide-body damp lease operations due to a challenging operating environment and rising costs. Mumbai-Amsterdam shifts to A321XLR; London Heathrow services pause until A350s arrive. IndiGo reaffirms its long-term international growth strategy.
