New Delhi: IndiGo’ plans for business class jets are on the upsurge with the airline planning to offer travel class on 40 jets by 2025, said CEO Pieter Elbers. The airline plans to launch its business class travel offering, IndiGo Stretch, on the Delhi-Mumbai route by November 2024.
The airline is planning to expand IndiGo Stretch to 12 routes by next year. IndiGo Stretch will target premium fliers on the Delhi-Bengaluru and Delhi-Hyderabad routes which are known to be business routes, Elbers said. IndiGo Stretch has evolved in response to customer demands, CNBCTV18 reported, citing Elbers. However, Elbers added that IndiGo remained a low-cost carrier at heart.
