IndiGo on Wednesday announced that it has returned to flying more than one million passengers every three days, signalling full stabilisation of its operations ahead of the peak holiday travel season.
The airline said its network has remained operationally steady since December 9, with IndiGo consistently operating between 2,100 and 2,200 flights daily across 138 destinations. Capacity has been added in a phased manner in line with government guidelines, while maintaining its on-time performance standards.
An IndiGo spokesperson reiterated the carrier’s commitment to strengthening domestic and international connectivity, stating that the airline continues to focus on reliable operations for passengers.
The recovery comes after several weeks of disruption caused by crew shortages and industry-wide challenges, including dense fog conditions across northern India. IndiGo acknowledged the impact of adverse weather but said the situation was effectively managed to ensure continuity of services and minimise passenger inconvenience. With forecasts pointing to a tougher winter ahead, the airline said reliability remains a key priority.
Looking ahead, IndiGo is preparing to induct India’s first Airbus A321XLR aircraft, which is expected to expand its medium- to long-haul capabilities. As earlier announced, the aircraft will operate routes connecting Delhi and Mumbai with Athens from January 23, 2026. The airline is also assessing new domestic and international routes in line with its ongoing fleet expansion plans.
