Speaking on the occasion, Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer, IndiGo said: “We are excited to announce that our fleet size now stands at 300 aircraft, giving wings to our ambitions. We have recently expanded operations across west, east, and north-east India as well as the middle east. The strong fleet will help us cater to emerging travel demands with the addition of capacity across domestic and international destination shores. We will strive to stay true to our promise of affordable fares, on-time performance, courteous and hassle-free service across a wide network.”
The airline hopes that the 300 aircraft strong fleet will help catering to the growing passenger volume, as Indian aviation marks recovery and growth in 2023.
