InterGlobe Aviation Limited (IndiGo) has concluded 2025, a year characterized by significant progress in its global expansion strategy, network acceleration, and operational learnings.

The airline anticipates welcoming over 123 million customers in calendar year 2025, an increase of over 10 million from 2024, solidifying its position among the Top 10 global airlines. Despite industry-wide challenges, including a major operational disruption in December 2025, IndiGo restored its operations and is actively collaborating with the regulator's committee.

A key highlight of 2025 was IndiGo's entry into long-haul operations with the launch of non-stop flights connecting India to Manchester, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and London. This expansion was supported by the induction of Boeing 787-9 aircraft in partnership with Norse Atlantic Airways. Additionally, IndiGo launched 10 new international destinations and 30 new international routes, including services to Seychelles, Krabi, Madinah, Fujairah, and Siem Reap, and resumed flights to Guangzhou from Kolkata and Delhi. Looking ahead, the airline plans to launch non-stop services to Athens on January 23, 2026, marking the debut of India’s first Airbus A321XLR.

Domestically, IndiGo commenced operations at Navi Mumbai International Airport and new airports in Purnea and Rewa, while adding Hindon, Adampur, Kishangarh, and Bikaner to its network. The airline is also preparing for operations at Noida International Airport (Jewar).

IndiGo doubled its order for Airbus A350-900 wide-body aircraft to 60, demonstrating confidence in future international travel growth. The airline also expanded its dual-class cabin product, IndiGoStretch, across 42 aircraft and its loyalty program, BluChip, now has over 9 million members.

Further strengthening its global presence, IndiGo deepened codeshare partnerships with international carriers across North America, Europe, and Asia. The airline expects to transport over 55,000 tonnes of cargo in 2025 and operated over 2,200 flights daily on average, maintaining industry-leading on-time performance for most of the year.

IndiGo also signed an MOU with Bangalore International Airport Ltd. (BIAL) to develop maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) infrastructure.

Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, stated that 2025 marked significant strides in executing the company's strategy, 'Towards New Heights and Across New Frontiers,' advancing to the next phase of becoming a major airline of global scale. He emphasized progress across customers, product, domestic and international networks, cargo, and MRO, thanking customers and colleagues for their contributions. Elbers added that the focus for the new year will be on driving further scale, innovation, and impact while keeping customers at the center.

IndiGo was recognized as the Best Airline in India and South Asia at the Skytrax World Airline Awards and continues to be among the top 20 airlines globally with over USD 10 billion in annual revenue.
