A shortage of aircraft is hampering IndiGo airline operator Interglobe Aviation Ltd’s efforts to ride a travel boom in India and globally, Chief Executive Officer Pieter Elbers said on Monday.
“There’s an opportunity in the markets where we would like to serve our customers and we cannot do it yet to the extent we would like to do that,” Elbers told Reuters in an interview, citing pressure from the shortage of aircraft supply.
India’s aviation market is booming as demand for air travel picked up pace from the pandemic lows. However, given the global demand for new planes Boeing and Airbus are scrambling to meet the overflowing orderbook.
