IndiGo
India’s largest low-cost airline, operating an extensive domestic network and selected international services with a high-frequency, single-aisle model.
About IndiGo
IndiGo is an Indian low-cost airline that began operations in 2006. Its parent company is InterGlobe Aviation Limited, a publicly listed business headquartered in Gurugram, India. The carrier uses the IATA code 6E and has built its identity around frequent schedules, standardized operations and competitively priced unbundled fares. It has become a central part of India’s domestic air transport market.
New Delhi is IndiGo’s busiest departure hub, followed by Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. The airline operates 192 routes serving 33 destinations across 6 countries. Its network links major Indian commercial centres with regional cities and selected international markets, including Dubai and Singapore. Other notable destinations include Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Nagpur, Pune and Bhubaneswar.
The aircraft type recorded for these services is the Airbus Industrie A320, a narrow-body family widely used for short- and medium-haul flying. IndiGo principally follows a single-class economy configuration, with fares that generally separate the basic seat from optional extras. Depending on the fare and route, travellers may pay separately for checked baggage, preferred seating, meals, priority services or greater booking flexibility.
IndiGo is not a member of Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld, although it maintains commercial partnerships and codeshare arrangements that can broaden connecting options. Its loyalty programme is IndiGo BluChip, through which enrolled customers can earn rewards and receive benefits under the programme’s rules. Travellers connecting to a partner-operated flight should check baggage handling, terminal arrangements and loyalty eligibility for every segment.
A major strength is the breadth and frequency of IndiGo’s Indian network, which can provide several daily timing choices on busy routes. Its standardized low-cost model also makes the booking proposition relatively straightforward when inclusions are compared carefully. The trade-off is that the lowest advertised fare may exclude services some passengers expect, so baggage, seat-selection, meal and change costs should be reviewed before purchase.
Good to know
Flying with IndiGo — what to expect
Check Fare Inclusions
IndiGo’s lowest fares may not include every optional service. Compare baggage, seat-selection, meal and change conditions before paying.
Baggage Varies
Cabin and checked-baggage entitlements can depend on the route and fare selected. International allowances may differ from those on domestic journeys.
Buy Meals Ahead
Food is generally sold rather than included with standard low-cost fares. Pre-booking can provide a wider choice and may be more convenient.
Allow Connection Time
Large hubs such as New Delhi and Mumbai can involve terminal changes, queues or lengthy walks. Leave extra time, especially when flights are on separate bookings.
Single-Class Service
Most IndiGo flights use an economy-focused cabin with optional preferred seats and add-ons. Review the seat and service details shown for the specific aircraft.
