History

IndiGo was founded in 2006 as a private company by Rahul Bhatia of InterGlobe Enterprises and Rakesh Gangwal, a United States-based expatriate Indian.[4] InterGlobe had a 51.12% stake in IndiGo and 47.88% was held by Gangwal's Virginia-based company, Caelum Investments.[5] [6] IndiGo placed a firm order for 100 Airbus A320-200 aircraft in June 2005 with plans to begin operations in mid-2006.[7] IndiGo took delivery of its first aircraft on 28 July 2006, nearly a year after placing the order.[8] It commenced operations on 4 August 2006 with a service from New Delhi to Imphal via Guwahati.[9] By the end of 2006, the airline had six aircraft, and nine more were acquired in 2007. In December 2010, IndiGo replaced state-run carrier Air India as the third largest airline in India, behind Kingfisher Airlines and Jet Airways with a passenger market share of 17.3%.[10]

In 2011, IndiGo placed an order for 180 Airbus A320 aircraft in a deal worth US$15 billion.[11] In January 2011, after completing five years of operations, the airline was permitted to launch international flights.[12] In December 2011, the DGCA expressed reservations that the rapid expansion could impact passenger safety.[13]

In February 2012, IndiGo took delivery of its 50th aircraft, less than six years after it began operations.[14] For the quarter ending March 2012, IndiGo was the most profitable airline in India and became the second largest airline in India in terms of passenger market share.[15] On 17 August 2012, IndiGo became the largest airline in India in terms of market share surpassing Jet Airways, six years after commencing operations.[16]

In January 2013, IndiGo was the second-fastest-growing low-cost carrier in Asia behind Indonesian airline Lion Air.[17] In February 2013, following the announcement of the Civil Aviation Ministry that it would allow IndiGo to take delivery of only five aircraft that year, the airline planned to introduce low-cost regional flights by setting up a subsidiary. Later, IndiGo announced that it planned to seek permission from the ministry to acquire four more aircraft, therefore taking delivery of nine aircraft in 2013.[18], IndiGo is the second-largest low-cost carrier in Asia in terms of seats flown.[19]

In August 2015, IndiGo placed an order for 250 Airbus A320neo aircraft worth $27 billion, making it the largest single order ever in Airbus history.[20] IndiGo announced a initial public offering on 19 October 2015 which opened on 27 October 2015.[21] [22] [23]

In October 2019, IndiGo placed an order for 300 Airbus A320neo aircraft worth, surpassing its own record of the largest single order ever in Airbus history.[24] [25] In December 2019, the airline became the first Indian airline to operate 1,500 daily flights.[26] On 31 December 2019, it became India's first airline to have a fleet size of more than 250 aircraft.[27]

In January 2023, the airline became the first Indian airline to have a fleet size of more than 300 aircraft.[28] In February 2023, the airline inducted the first wide-body aircraft, a Boeing 777-300ER to its fleet.[29] In June 2023, the airline placed an order for 500 Airbus A320neo family aircraft, making it the largest aircraft order in commercial aviation history.[30] As of November 2023, IndiGo had a 61.8% domestic market share.[31] In December 2023, IndiGo became the first Indian airline to have ferried more than 100 million passengers in a calendar year.[32]

Operations

IndiGo became one of the fastest growing low-cost carriers in the world and the largest airline in India.[17] The success of IndiGo has been attributed to its unique business model which reduces costs.[15] The airline operates a single type of aircraft (Airbus A320) in similar seating configuration which simplifies crew training and maintenance.[15] The airline strikes bulk deals with Airbus, reducing unit costs.[15] The airline targets a quick turn-around time of 20 minutes to get the aircraft ready for the next flight, ensuring planes fly about 12 hours every day.[46] Employees share multiple roles with a check-in staff doubling as baggage handlers.[46] In July 2023, Indian aviation watchdog Directorate General of Civil Aviation imposed a fine on IndiGo for certain systemic deficiencies concerning documentation pertaining to operations, training, and engineering procedures.[47]

Fleet developments

IndiGo placed an order for 100 Airbus A320-200 aircraft worth US$6 billion in June 2005 during the Paris Air Show with plans to commence operations in mid-2006.[77] [78] The airline received its first A320 in July 2006 and planned to induct 100 aircraft by 2015–2016.[79] IndiGo signed a memorandum of understanding for an additional 180 Airbus A320 aircraft including 150 with the New Engine Option (NEO) worth US$15 billion on 11 January 2011. In 2012, the airline took delivery of its 50th aircraft and the 100th aircraft was delivered on 4 November 2014, completing its initial order ahead of schedule.[80]

The Airbus A320neo family aircraft ordered in 2011 were to be delivered starting 2015.[81] However, due to a delay in the production and delivery of these aircraft, IndiGo dry-leased a total of 22 used aircraft to cope with the demand.[82] On 15 October 2014, IndiGo expressed its intention to order a further 250 A320neo aircraft worth US$25.7 billion at list prices.[83] On 15 August 2015, IndiGo confirmed the order for 250 A320neo aircraft for $26.5 billion. The order also provides IndiGo the flexibility to convert some A320neos to A321neoLRs that can seat more passengers and fly on longer routes.[84] The order for 250 jets was Airbus' single largest order by number of aircraft.[85] IndiGo received the first A320neo in March 2016.[86] [87] On 10 October 2019, Airbus delivered its 1000th A320neo aircraft to IndiGo.[88]

In May 2017, IndiGo tentatively signed for 50 ATR 72-600 for the UDAN regional connectivity scheme, to be delivered from the year end for up to 20 by the end of 2018.[89] IndiGo took delivery of its first ATR 72-600 on 17 November 2017.[90] On 29 October 2019, IndiGo placed a firm order for 300 A320neo Family aircraft comprising a mix of 87 A320neo, 144 A321neo and 69 A321XLR, taking IndiGo's total number of A320neo Family aircraft orders to 730.[91]

In May 2023, IndiGo inducted its first wide-body aircraft, a Boeing 777-300ER wet leased from Turkish Airlines.[92] In June 2023, the airline placed an order for 500 Airbus A320neo family aircraft worth $55 billion excluding potential bulk-order concessions.[93] It is the largest single aircraft order in commercial aviation history with deliveries between 2030 and 2035.[30]

On 25 April 2024, IndiGo signed a deal for 30 Airbus A350-900s, with rights to purchase another 70 aircraft with Airbus, at a cost of US$5 billion, thereby taking the total number to a hundred wide-body aircraft. This order marked the airline's entry to consist and operate wide-body aircraft for the first time in its history in a full-fledged way, as part of its long-term future plans. The deliveries of these aircraft will begin from 2027.[94] [95] Since May 2024, IndiGo is also planning to place an order of at least a hundred smaller, regional aircraft such as the ATR-72, the Airbus A220 or the Embraer E175, to further give impetus on regional expansion and connectivity.[96]

Services

Being a low-cost carrier, IndiGo offers only economy class seating. To keep fares low, IndiGo does not provide complimentary meals in any of its flights, though it does have a buy-on board in-flight meal programme.[97] No in-flight entertainment is available and Hello 6E is the in-flight magazine published by IndiGo.[98] IndiGo offers premium services, where the passengers can avail additional benefits like a pre-assigned seat, multiple cancellations and priority check-in at a higher fare.[99] In September 2019, the company announced its tie up with SonyLIV, an on demand video app for providing its passengers with entertainment options in-flight and at the airport.[100]
