IndiGo

About

IndiGo is India's largest airline, operating as a low-cost carrier with a strong focus on affordability and efficiency. Established in 2005 by Rahul Bhatia and Rakesh Gangwal, it began operations on August 4, 2006. The airline is headquartered in Gurgaon, Haryana, and is known for its extensive network, connecting over 90 domestic and 35 international destinations as of February 2025[1][3]. IndiGo's success is attributed to its streamlined business model, which includes operating a single type of aircraft, the Airbus A320 family, to simplify maintenance and training[1][3]. IndiGo continues to expand its services, recently introducing a premium product called IndiGoStretch on select A321neo aircraft, marking a shift towards a hybrid business model[2]. The airline also operates cargo services under IndiGo CarGo and has codeshare agreements with several major airlines[1]. With a fleet of over 300 aircraft and more than 950 on order, IndiGo is poised for further growth, including plans to expand its international network with new aircraft like the A321XLR and A350-900[2][3]. Its commitment to punctuality and customer satisfaction has made it a preferred choice among travelers[1][5].
