The no-frills airline
Established in 2006 and headquartered in Gurgaon, IndiGo climbed the airline ladder to become the largest passenger carrier with a market share of about 40 percent. The company’s focus was threefold – offering low fares mainly in the domestic market, being on-time and providing a smooth flying experience. IndiGo was the preferred airline among Indians and was known for its punctuality.
IndiGo had 238 aircrafts as part of its fleet and over a thousand daily flights to 60 destinations. As a low-cost carrier, it offers only economy seating and no complimentary meals on any flights. It was one of the leading budget airlines in terms of net profit in 2018. As an airline that operates mainly within the south Asian country, it has become a major player in the market in its 11 years in existence. It found a stronger foothold with the bankruptcy declaration from competitor Jet Airways early in 2019.
