NEW DELHI: As the Tata Group prepares to revive its 1932-founded Maharaja of Air India with a record-breaking aircraft order, the soon-to-be-17 IndiGo is operating its highest number of daily flights — 1,800 — with a fleet of 308 aircraft and is preparing for a massive network expansion from 102 destinations at the moment to over 115 by next April. A majority of this growth will be international as the low cost carrier (LCC) expects to fly almost 10 crore passengers in fiscal 2024, 2 crore more than this financial year.
Thanks to its last 300-aircraft order placed in 2019 the domestic market leader says it is well placed to cash in on the resounding resurgence in travel being witnessed since last November with a steady supply of planes and is in no hurry to place its next order.
