Sunday World Routes Special - RX Carrier: IndiGo

Delhi-based domestic airline, IndiGo, is believed to be seeking to take its low-fares model from India into international markets. The airline is currently renewing leases on existing A320s and plans to acquire new lease agreements as part of its expansion plans

FLEET

In June, Indigo added its 27th A320 - its preferred choice of aircraft with a seat capacity of 180 - into the fleet.

The carrier will also add three new A320s to the fleet next year, through a leasing arrangement with investor Hong Kong Aviation Capital (HKAC).

The carrier will also extend the lease of four A320s with HKAC that are already in service.

NETWORK STRATEGY

For this coming winter season, IndiGo will operate its largest base in Delhi, followed by Mumbai, Calcutta and Bangalore. Having served its mandatory five years of domestic operations, IndiGo is now positioned to analyze the international market. Attending its first ever World Routes conference after having attended Routes Asia for a number of years, Indigo view Routes as the perfect place to undertake the first steps in the next phase of its development. It will no doubt be looking to the mass markets of Asia from India and is likely to operate capacity on existing trunk routes.

AIRLINE REQUIREMENTS

IndiGo is in the process of evaluating International operations in 2011 in line with the government policy, hence we are interested in meeting with airports in the Middle-East, and the South-East Asia regions in order to obtain data and information.
