The airline was founded as a private company by Rahul Bhatia of InterGlobe Enterprises Pvt. Ltd., an Indian multinational conglomerate based in Gurugram, [10] and Rakesh Gangwal in 2005. It took delivery of its first aircraft in July 2006 and commenced operations a month later, on 4 August 2006. [11] The airline became the largest Indian carrier by passenger market share in December 2012. [12] The company went public in October 2015. [13] The airline was ranked as the 15th most punctual airline globally in 2022 by OAG. [14] It is also the sixth-busiest airline in the world, as per data from RadarBox. [15]

History

IndiGo was founded in 2005 as a private company by Rahul Bhatia of InterGlobe Enterprises and Rakesh Gangwal, a United States–based expatriate Indian. [16] InterGlobe had a 51.12% stake in IndiGo and 47.88% was held by Gangwal's Virginia-based company, Caelum Investments. [17] [18] IndiGo placed a firm order for 100 Airbus A320-200 aircraft in June 2005 with plans to begin operations in mid 2006. [19] IndiGo took delivery of its first aircraft on 28 July 2006, nearly a year after placing the order. [20] It commenced operations on 4 August 2006 with a service from New Delhi to Imphal via Guwahati. [21] By the end of 2006, the airline had six aircraft, and nine more were acquired in 2007. [21] In December 2010, IndiGo replaced state-run carrier Air India as the third largest airline in India, behind Kingfisher Airlines and Jet Airways with a passenger market share of 17.3%. [22]

In 2011, IndiGo placed an order for 180 Airbus A320 aircraft in a deal worth US$15 billion. [23] In January 2011, after completing five years of operations, the airline was permitted to launch international flights. [24] In December 2011, the DGCA expressed reservations that the rapid expansion could impact passenger safety. [25]

In February 2012, IndiGo took delivery of its 50th aircraft, less than six years after it began operations. [26] For the quarter ending March 2012, IndiGo was the most profitable airline in India and became the second largest airline in India in terms of passenger market share. [27] On 17 August 2012, IndiGo became the largest airline in India in terms of market share surpassing Jet Airways, six years after commencing operations. [28]

In January 2013, IndiGo was the second-fastest-growing low-cost carrier in Asia behind Indonesian airline Lion Air. [29] In February 2013, following the announcement of the Civil Aviation Ministry that it would allow IndiGo to take delivery of only five aircraft that year, the airline planned to introduce low-cost regional flights by setting up a subsidiary. Later, IndiGo announced that it planned to seek permission from the ministry to acquire four more aircraft, therefore taking delivery of nine aircraft in 2013. [30] As of March 2014, IndiGo is the second-largest low-cost carrier in Asia in terms of seats flown. [31]

In August 2015, IndiGo placed an order for 250 Airbus A320neo aircraft worth $27 billion, making it the largest single order ever in Airbus history. [32] IndiGo announced a ₹3,018 crore (equivalent to ₹36 billionorUS$410 million in 2023) initial public offering on 19 October 2015 which opened on 27 October 2015. [33] [34] [35]

In October 2019, IndiGo placed an order for 300 Airbus A320neo aircraft worth ₹2.3 lakh crore (US$27 billion), surpassing its own record of the largest single order ever in Airbus history. [36] [37] In December 2019, the airline became the first Indian airline to operate 1,500 daily flights. [38] On 31 December 2019, it became India's first airline to have a fleet size of more than 250 aircraft. [39]

In January 2023, the airline became the first Indian airline to have a fleet size of more than 300 aircraft. [40] In February 2023, the airline inducted the first wide-body aircraft, a wet-leased Boeing 777-300ER to its fleet. [41] In June 2023, the airline placed an order for 500 Airbus A320neo family aircraft, making it the largest aircraft order in commercial aviation history. [42] As of November 2023, IndiGo had a 61.8% domestic market share. [43] In December 2023, IndiGo became the first Indian airline to have ferried more than 100 million passengers in a calendar year. [44] In April 2024, IndiGo formally entered the wide-body space by placing an order of 30 A350-900s, with 70 options. [45] The delivery of these aircraft will begin in 2027.

Operations

IndiGo became one of the fastest growing low-cost carriers in the world and the largest airline in India. [29] The success of IndiGo has been attributed to its unique business model which reduces costs. [27] The airline operates a single type of aircraft (Airbus A320) in similar seating configuration which simplifies crew training and maintenance. [27] The airline strikes bulk deals with Airbus, reducing unit costs. [27] The airline targets a quick turn-around time of 20 minutes to get the aircraft ready for the next flight, ensuring planes fly about 12 hours every day. [59] Employees share multiple roles with a check-in staff doubling as baggage handlers. [59] In July 2023, Indian aviation watchdog Directorate General of Civil Aviation imposed a ₹30 lakh (US$35,000) fine on IndiGo for certain systemic deficiencies concerning documentation pertaining to operations, training, and engineering procedures.
