IndiGo Introduces Business Class And Wide-Body Services on 18th Anniversary

India’s leading low-cost carrier, IndiGo, announced on Monday the introduction of business-class services for the first time since its inception, coinciding with its 18th anniversary. IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers stated, “Starting tomorrow, passengers traveling between metro cities will have the option to book business class seats on IndiGo flights.” While bookings open immediately, the new business class service will be available for travel starting this November.

This move represents a significant shift for IndiGo, which has built its reputation on providing affordable, no-frills service. The introduction of a business class option aims to attract a new segment of travelers seeking added comfort and convenience on domestic routes.

IndiGo also announced the launch of wide-body aircraft operations, with plans to start IndiGo wide-body services on Airbus A350-900 planes by 2027, as part of its 18th-anniversary celebrations. Currently, IndiGo operates over 400 routes, including 34 international destinations. The CEO shared plans for further expansion, with seven new international routes set to be launched soon, enhancing IndiGo’s global presence.

This strategic move to introduce business class and expand its international network signals IndiGo’s ambition to cater to a broader range of travelers while enhancing its competitive edge in the aviation industry.
