Budget carrier IndiGo has become the first domestic carrier to operate 1,500 flights per day, a feat which is in line with its expansion strategy.
The 1,500th flight was operated in December, the airline said in a release.
IndiGo had flown its 1,000th daily service in December last year.
The airline currently has a fleet of 249 planes and operates to 83 destinations, including 23 international ones.
“We are pleased to be the first Indian airline to touch 1,500 daily departures, with one flight taking off every minute,” IndiGo chief executive officer Ronojoy Dutta said.
With this, IndiGo now operates on an average one flight per minute.
