Why is IndiGo adding widebody planes now?
Live MintIn what looks like IndiGo showing remarkable faith in Air India’s turnaround and growth, the airline is diving head first into the widebody game much earlier than it received its own A350s, which it ordered last year. However, these statistics take a different turn if both Air India and Air India Express are combined together and the Tata group as a whole is compared with IndiGo. However, the destinations are likely to be a mix of high traffic routes where it can corner some rights, take on Air India and virgin routes where it can have a first mover advantage. Unlike Air India, which has years of legacy, a proven sales system and global expanse; IndiGo’s early routes may have to be those which have heavy sales from India and not abroad along with places which have high Indian origin population knowing IndiGo.
