1,000 Planes On Order - Is this Airline Taking Over the World? IndiGo's A320 and ATR-72 in Economy
Despite being the world's largest country with more than 1.4 billion people, India has become known as a graveyard for airlines - with many having tried and failed to capitalize on what SHOULD be a massive market opportunity, especially on the domestic side. Kingfisher, Jet Airways, Go Air and others have risen and fallen... and some speculate that Air India wouldn't have made it without government help. But one airline has managed to crack the code (in my opinion), and that airline is IndiGo. Perhaps the world's least-hated budget carrier, IndiGo carried 100 million+ passengers in 2023 to over 100 destinations in India and beyond. Like most budget carriers, the onboard product is fairly basic, but that seems to be exactly what India needed - an affordable way to get from Point A to Point B - safely & on-time. I've always been fascinated by IndiGo's story, so when I was in India, I had to check them out. Come join me as I fly both workhorses in IndiGo's fleet - the A320 and ATR 72 - on a couple domestic flights - and let's see if we can uncover the secret to IndiGo's Indian Dominance!
