The airline touched a peak of 2,200 daily flights and served a record 31.3 million passengers during the third quarter of FY25. Indigo plans to expand its stretch on 10 new metro routes in 2025, with the Delhi-Chennai route, along with the existing Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Bengaluru routes, to be operationalised soon, said Pieter Elbers, IndiGo's Chief Executive Officer.
The airline touched a peak of 2,200 daily flights and served a record 31.3 million passengers during the third quarter of FY25. It flies to 90 domestic destinations and 38 international destinations with code sharing.
“There is a positive demand rebound in the latter half of the year after external impact in the second quarter due to heat waves and elections. The penetration of air travel which means Indian using air travel is still relatively low compared globally and this gives us confidence on growth waves,” said Elbers during the Q3FY25 earnings call on Friday.
He further said that international expansions account for 28% of all available seat kilometers (ASK), a measure of an airplane’s carrying capacity available to generate revenues. “International is a leading part of our growth as Indian travellers want to explore,” he added.
