IndiGo, India’s largest airline by market share, is set to expand its international reach with new non-stop flights to Amsterdam. This service marks a significant step in IndiGo’s strategy to enhance its presence in Europe, directly challenging the existing duopoly held by Air India and KLM on this route. The inaugural flight is slated to commence on October 27, 2023, with a frequency of five times a week initially. Additionally, the airline is positioning itself for further international growth with a recent wet lease agreement for Boeing 787 Dreamliners, facilitating long-haul operations. IndiGo’s CEO, Ait Shah, remarked, “Our new non-stop flights to Amsterdam are a testament to our commitment to serving our customers better and expanding our global footprint.” The airline plans to introduce more destinations in Europe and increase flight frequencies based on market demand. Furthermore, there are exciting prospects with future Airbus A350 deliveries that will bolster the airline’s capabilities for long-haul services. As part of its strategy, IndiGo is also focusing on business travel, having recently launched an array of premium services aimed at attracting corporate clients. With the airline’s determined steps into the European market, it aims to enhance connectivity between India and key cities around the world, bringing travelers seamless travel possibilities. The demand for travel between India and Europe continues to rise, and IndiGo plans to meet this demand through its expanded routes and operational enhancements, including the employment of modern aircraft and improved customer service.
