IndiGo says a tailor-made business product on the busiest routes and business routes of the country will be launched before the end of this year.

With India poised to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2027 and a growing appetite for diverse travel experiences, IndiGo sees its expansion into the business class segment as a strategic move to prepare for future demands.

The announcement comes as IndiGo embarks on ambitious international expansion plans. It recently launched several new routes and aims to bolster its global presence.

The airline currently serves 33 international destinations, connecting travelers from 18 Indian cities to key global hubs.
During the 2024, the airline launched 7 new international destinations in Asia and Africa.

To help the airline towards its internationalization goals, IndiGo recently placed its first-ever order for widebody aircraft. It plans to offer nonstop connectivity from major Indian airports, removing the need for travelers to transit elsewhere.

In separate developments, IndiGo placed an order for 500 narrowbody aircraft with Airbus last June. The airline has the longer-range XLR variant in its fleet pipeline and has purchase rights for an additional 70 aircraft.

Both the plane orders form part of a wider strategy to achieve the airline’s vision of making IndiGo a global aviation player. 

TAL Aviation represents IndiGo as General Sales Agent in Czech Republic, Greece, Israel, Poland, Hungary and remains committed to long-term and profitable relationships to strengthen the presence of our partner in the key markets.
