At Aviation Festival Asia, Pieter Elbers, CEO, IndiGo sat with Danny Lee for a 15-minute keynote interview titled: “IndiGo – Developing from a domestic carrier into a global aviation giant.” The discussion offered insight into IndiGo’s rapid growth and Elbers’ ambitious plans for its future.
By the end of 2023, the low-cost airline became the first airline in India to carry 100 million passengers in a single calendar year. It also became the first in India to operate over 2,000 flights a day. Discussing IndiGo’s fast-paced progression, Elbers provided an overview of the drivers of this growth and its trajectory into the future.
The conversation touched on the untapped potential of the Indian market and establishing a network that mirrors this, the impact of supply chains on growth, the industry’s influence on the wider economy, Elbers’ weighting on domestic vs international markets moving forward, and more.
