As part of its IndiGo 2030 vision, the carrier is targeting annual capacity of 300 billion available seat kilometres (ASK) and plans to serve 200 million passengers by the end of the decade.
The airline expects capacity growth to remain in the single digits during FY27 before accelerating to a mid-teen compound annual growth rate between FY28 and FY30. IndiGo is targeting more than 3,000 daily departures and a fleet of over 550 aircraft by 2030.
A key pillar of the strategy is international expansion. The share of mid and long-haul international operations is expected to increase to 10-15% of total capacity from around 4% currently. As a result, the domestic market’s contribution to overall capacity is projected to moderate to 85-90% from the current 96%.
The airline also plans to increase the proportion of owned aircraft in its fleet to 30-40% from about 20% currently.
Premium travel focus
IndiGo is simultaneously stepping up its premium offering. The airline plans to expand its business-class seating capacity to more than 4,300 seats by the end of FY27, compared with over 2,800 currently.
Its “Stretch” premium product rollout is also set to accelerate, with the offering expected to be available on 105 aircraft by FY27-end, up from 53 aircraft at present.
Despite the long-term growth plans, shares of InterGlobe Aviation have declined nearly 15% so far this year.
