IndiGo Aims To Take International Capacity Share To 40% By FY30

The number of air passengers in India is expected to double to 510 million by 2030 from the current 252 million, said IndiGo. It aims to take its international capacity share to 40% by financial year 2030 from 28% currently.

The airline reiterated its target of taking the aircraft count to more than 600 by 2030, with orders of 925 planes yet to be delivered. The company currently has more than 400 planes in its fleet.

The company expects A321 XLR deliveries in fiscal 2026, with one aircraft delivery every week during the year, similar to fiscal 2025.

The airline plans to launch services on routes across Asia and Europe. It aims to add 14 more destinations in FY26 and expects capacity and passenger traffic to grow in early double digits during the year.

IndiGo chief Pieter Elbers on Tuesday said the airline sees a great opportunity to tap into the long haul flight services market from India, as he emphasised on internationalisation being the key focus area for the airline.

"International air travel in India probably for quite a long time was very much taken care of by non Indian airlines...there is a great opportunity to address that market (long haul) with our planes," Elbers said.

The airline has plans to start services to Amsterdam and Manchester this year.
