IndiGo to add a third ramp as it aims for faster turnaround times

India’s biggest airline IndiGo will add a third ramp for passengers disembarking from most of its planes, a top executive said on Thursday, as it looks to improve turnaround times and increase efficiency in the face of growing competition.

A third ramp would help the budget airline improve turnaround times by three to five minutes for flights arriving at remote stands at Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru airports initially, and will be progressively deployed across the network, IndiGo’s Executive Vice President Sanjeev Ramdas told reporters on Thursday.

“Adding a third ramp for disembarkation is a simple yet effective way to complete a smooth travel experience for our customers,” Ramdas said.
