Where all does IndiGo fly?

With operational bases in several locations, IndiGo's flight destinations are in many parts of the world.
IndiGo is not only the largest domestic airline in India based on passengers and aircraft operated. It is a no-frills airline mainly serving domestic routes as well as some international gateway cities of India. In early 2023, IndiGo is connecting more than 75 domestic airports and roughly 25 international gateways.

Domestic Routes

Operating inside India, IndiGo has created a very extensive network of routes connecting some of the smaller cities as well as most of the major ones. Using domestic operations, the corporation may provide air links necessary for the flow of people between the main national cities and the other secondary and third-tier cities.

IndiGo links several domestic locations; some of the most often used include Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Bengaluru, Mumbai-Chennai, Mumbai-Kolkata, Bengaluru-Hyderabad, Kolkata-Guwahati, Chennai-Port Blair, Delhi-Srinagar, Mumbai-Goa, Delhi-Leh, and Kochi-Agatti. Operating more than 1,700 daily flights on domestic routes, IndiGo is the largest private airline in all of India.

The airline flies out of major airports like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, and Hyderabad, metropolitan areas. It also connects somewhat less important towns such as Port Blair, Leh, Jammu, Guwahati, Bagdogra, Surat, Vadodara, Vishakhapatnam, Lucknow, Raipur, and many more. Since direct flights either exist or at least one transfer is needed, IndiGo is simple to go from one location to another and boasts a large domestic network.

Some of the new GDM sectors that the airline has introduced recently are Dehradun Pune, Gorakhpur Mumbai, and Agra Bengaluru. Going forward, IndiGo has a strategy of reaching even further into the third and fourth-tier cities, towns, and villages in India.

International Routes

Most well-known for its extensive domestic coverage, IndiGo also flies to approximately twenty-five international locations mostly in Southeast and West Asia.

Some of its most important international connections include Delhi-Dubai, Mumbai-Dubai, Delhi-Istanbul, Delhi-Doha, Mumbai-Muscat, Kochi-Doha, Delhi-Kathmandu, Kolkata-Yangon, and Chennai-Colombo etc.

Almost all flights for IndiGo's international route are from major Indian airports such as Delhi and Mumbai to large airports in global destinations like Dubai, Doha Bangkok, and Singapore. They are mainly due to the vast travel need in the outbound market in India to various holiday and business destinations in Asia.

In recent years, IndiGo has been involved in the process of trying to establish an international network. It now serves several other new routes in Saudi Arabia such as Jeddah, Riyadh, and Sharjah, Male in Maldives Hanoi city of Vietnam, and Guangzhou city of China. The majority of these new routes are linked to either of the two major airports; Delhi or Mumbai.

In its international expansion plan, IndiGo ordered a record number of new A320neo and A321neo aircraft with Airbus for hundreds more planes that should help launch many more international flights. It implies that some Chinese destinations, Central Asia, and a few European points can potentially be on the list of the airline's future International network.

Partner Airlines

The company boasts of direct operations that include serving destinations where it owns aircraft and codeshare with Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways. In this case, the agreements enable the IndiGo passengers easy connection from its Indian flights to other destinations OTHER THAN Istanbul or Doha offered by other partners.

For example, the Turkish Airlines codeshare provides seamless connectivity from India to various North American and European cities such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, Barcelona, Washington DC, and Toronto, among others. Likewise, the partnership with Qatar Airways provides the opportunity to travel to cities like Sydney, Maldives, Nairobi, and Zanzibar among other cities from India via Doha. More similar interline and codeshare partnerships can be expected in the future will further strengthen IndiGo's network.

IndiGo's Feeder Flights

Since IndiGo has emerged as the biggest airline in India, several other domestic regional airlines rely on IndiGo's connectivity to get feeds from some tier II and tier III airports. This interaction also indicated that IndiGo engages regional partner airlines such as FlyBig and Alliance Air to provide codeshare flights to several tier-2 and tier-3 Indian cities.

For instance, Alliance Air is connected through ATR flights to Shimla, Bhatinda, and Hubli to Delhi whereas FlyBig focuses on Shillong, Jorhat, and Tezpur among the other tier-two cities to access IndiGo's network. By these arrangements, the regional airlines can be connected to IndiGo's extensive domestic network. It also provides fliers originating from these small towns with a better onward connection.

More Expansion Coming Soon

IndiGo hasAA still has several hundreds of new Airbus A320neo family aircraft on order which it expects to take delivery of in large numbers. It should further fuel significant expansion in both domestic trunk lines and new international markets once these fuel-efficient planes are introduced into the fleet.

The management has yet to establish several other domestic routes connecting tier-2 cities that are considered to hold a lot of promise. Internationally, IndiGo now has the fleet capacity to cover more than Seven to Eight Hours primarily destination networks in East Asia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe.

Therefore, the expectation is that over the next few years, IndiGo will introduce dozens of new routes connecting at this point, disconnected domestic and international destinations. It will also allow more affordable fares as a result of its continued fleet expansion and its low-cost strategy, which will help engulf an ever-widening circle of the Indian population into the ambit of flyers.
