IndiGo Sets 2030 Goal: 40% International Capacity, 4,000 Daily Flights

The CEO made the pledge at Wings India 2026 in his first in-person media briefing in India since the December flight disruptions.

Overview

  • Pieter Elbers also targeted carrying 200 million passengers by 2030 as part of the long-term plan.
  • The airline reports a 440-aircraft fleet, more than 2,200 daily flights, and 124 million passengers in 2025, with nearly 900 planes on order including 39 Airbus A321XLRs.
  • IndiGo's Q3 FY26 net profit fell 78% to ₹550 crore, with exceptional charges of ₹577 crore from December disruptions and ₹969 crore related to new labour-code implementation.
  • Following the December cancellations, regulators reduced IndiGo's winter schedule by 10% until February 10 and imposed penalties, with a bank guarantee required, and the CEO acknowledged a lapse.
  • DGCA data show IndiGo was India's largest international carrier by traffic in July–September 2025, reflecting recent shifts in competitors' overseas schedules.
