First time since financial year 2019, IndiGo reported a profit before tax of nearly 80.5 billion rupees at the end of fiscal year 2024. It is the market leader in the Indian air carrier industry, The company had significant losses due to national lockdown and restrictions on air travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tough year for Indian air-carriers
According to IndiGo’s CEO, 2019 was a year of two halves – the first involving declines resulting in losses due to high fuel prices and a weak rupee, in addition to fierce competition. Jet Airways’ declaration of bankruptcy earlier that year also had an impact on the industry as other companies tried to fill in its gaps. IndiGo hired 285 pilots from the Jet Airways staff and was looking to increase those numbers further.
Reaching greater heights
As part of expanding its wings, IndiGo launched international flights in 2011, five years after being in operation. This, along with fleet development, made the private-owned budget carrier one of the fastest-growing in 2013, after Indonesian Lion Air. A couple of years later, Airbus received its largest single order from the Indian passenger carrier. Since its last quarter recovery in fiscal year 2019, the airline was reportedly studying the inclusion of business class for its long-haul flights. With Air India hanging by a thread, and players like SpiceJet and Vistara seizing growth opportunities, IndiGo depends on innovation and development to retain its market leading position.
