India’s largest airline is flying high

IndiGo, the airline they founded in 2006, is now India’s largest, with over 60% of the domestic market by passenger volume. By comparison, America’s top four airlines together have 69% of its market. IndiGo is among the world’s ten biggest airlines measured by number of flights. Bar the pandemic, it has been consistently profitable since its third year of operation. And it intends to get much bigger. Last year the company placed an order for 500 planes, the largest ever for an airline. A new plane joins its fleet every week.
