Summary
IndiGo plans a high-density economy layout for its long-haul European flights. This strategy aims to sell more seats and protect its cost structure. The airline will offer hot food and in-flight entertainment on these journeys. Deliveries of new widebody jets are expected to begin from 2028. IndiGo will also utilize multiple hubs for its expanded long-haul operations.
