IndiGo expects low double digit growth in passenger traffic as it plans to add 14 destinations in FY26, the airline said in an investor presentation on Tuesday.
In CY2024 IndiGo flew 113 million passengers, a growth of 10 per cent on a year-on-year basis.
IndiGo will be receiving its Airbus A321XLR aircraft in the coming fiscal allowing it to launch new routes in Asia and Europe. These aircraft will be configured with 12 business class and 183 economy class seats and have a flying range of 7.5-8.5 hours.
IndiGo will recruit around 3,000 employees in FY26 for its expansion, it said.
European operations
Currently the airline has 439 aircraft in its fleet which includes 33 aircraft under wet lease. IndiGo is planning to take three additional Boeing 787s on wet lease to expand its European operations from second half of CY2025. It plans to add new destinations such as Amsterdam and Manchester.
IndiGo will induct one aircraft every week and will focus on international expansion for revenue enhancement. By 2030 it aims to have a fleet of more than 600 plus aircraft factoring for lease returns.
