IndiGo on Wednesday said it has again started flying over 1 million passengers every three days, marking a full stabilisation of its operations ahead of the peak holiday travel season.
The airline said its network has remained operationally stable since December 9, with IndiGo consistently operating 2,100-2,200 flights daily across 138 destinations.
Capacity has been added gradually in line with government’s guidelines, while maintaining the airline’s standards of on-time performance, it said.
An IndiGo spokesperson said the airline remains committed to “giving wings to the nation” and strengthening India’s connectivity with key destinations around the world.
Overcoming Crew and Weather Crisis
The resumption follows weeks of disruption caused by staff shortage and industry-wide challenges triggered by dense fog, particularly across northern India.
IndiGo acknowledged the impact of adverse weather conditions, but said operations were effectively managed to ensure continuity and minimise inconvenience to passengers. With forecasts indicating a harsher winter ahead, the airline said it remains focused on ensuring reliability across its network.
Long-Haul Ambitions
Looking ahead, IndiGo is preparing to induct India’s first Airbus A321XLR, which is expected to redefine medium- to long-haul air travel for domestic passengers. As previously announced, the aircraft will be deployed on routes connecting Delhi and Mumbai with Athens from January 23, 2026.
The airline is also evaluating additional domestic and international destinations in line with its fleet expansion plans and said further announcements will be made in due course.
