It’s all change at IndiGo with the recent announcement of the appointment of Willie Walsh as the Indian carrier’s next CEO. Therefore, Flight Friday this week looks at IndiGo’s number of monthly flights over the last two years.
The general trend for IndiGo has been an increase in monthly flights; however, in December 2025 the airline experienced a well-documented network meltdown, leading to a drop of almost 10,000 flights. This event marked the beginning of the end of Peter Elbers’ reign as CEO of IndiGo.
At the start of 2024, IndiGo’s Airbus A320ceos made up a little over 10% of the carrier’s monthly utilization. That number remained consistent through mid-2025, as the A320ceos’ share of the in-service fleet (ISF) began to decline with the addition of newer aircraft, primarily the A321neo.
The A320neo ISF has remained steady since the beginning of 2024, at around 150 aircraft. IndiGo took its first neo delivery back in 2016.
In 2024, the A320neo accounted for 45% of all flights completed, but its share has since dropped to a little over a third of flights due to the rise of the A321neo.
The A321neo now conducts the bulk of IndiGo’s flights, with over 40% of all flights being operated by this aircraft type. With a fleet of over 160 A321neo aircraft, IndiGo boasts the largest A321neo fleet in the world, with the Wizz Air group of airlines coming in a very close second when their fleets are combined.
The ATR is another mainstay of the IndiGo fleet. With a little under 50 aircraft flying smaller, more rural routes, the ATR fleet maintains around 15% of IndiGo’s overall flying operations.
This data was put together using Aviation Week’s Tracked Aircraft Utilization database.
