From its peak 1,674 average daily flights connecting 62 domestic and 24 international destinations for the quarter ending March 2020, India’s largest air carrier IndiGo has now touched operation of 1000 daily flights to and from 59 domestic and 6 international destinations post the Covid lockdown that had shut down, among other, airlines operations also. The flights include scheduled commercial operations and air bubble flights.
Since the resumption of air travel in India, IndiGo has already operated 100,000 flights between May 25, 2020 and November 11, 2020, including all domestic and international flights. Currently the airline is operating between 100 – 130 scheduled flights from three key metro cities – Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. In addition, IndiGo is operating passenger and CarGo charter flights across domestic and international markets.
According to Ronojoy Dutta, Chief Executive Officer, IndiGo, “From zero domestic and international operations to now operating 1000 scheduled commercial flights daily, we have indeed come a long way since we resumed operations post the lockdown.”
“Our tireless efforts to provide a safe and hygienic experience and awareness campaigns are bearing fruit, as seen in the form of steadily increasing demand for air travel. We are currently operating at around 70% of our pre-covid capacity and we hope that the growth will continue into 2021. We will continue to adapt our business to the needs of the hour, and we look forward to achieving more milestones in the coming months,” he added.
