Gurugram - On its 17th anniversary, IndiGo , the largest domestic airline in India, achieved a notable feat by reaching a daily flight count of 1,900.

Pieter Elbers, the CEO of IndiGo, remarked that this milestone demonstrates the steadfast support and confidence that our customers have entrusted to us over the years.

"IndiGo has hit it out of the park, becoming the largest air carrier in India in a short time, with an organised pipeline of aircraft and expansion. So much so that while everyone else kept experimenting and changing tack, IndiGo has gone ahead and conquered approximately two third of the Indian domestic market."

From its inaugural flight in 2006 to its remarkable achievement on June 19 this year, when it secured an unprecedented order for 500 A320 aircraft, the airline’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.

This historic order not only cemented the company’s status as the industry leader with the largest order but also underscored its remarkable trajectory. IndiGo previously introduced its First A321 on December 27, 2018.

Just a month before this groundbreaking deal, the airline achieved another milestone by setting a new record with a staggering 300,000 customers per day in May.
