Management interview of InterGlobe Aviation Ltd (INDIGO), with 9 key numbers discussed.
- Willie Walsh, CEO, IndiGo
IndiGo's leadership addressed elevated operational expenses, particularly historically high jet fuel crack spreads of 65% which pushed fuel costs up 67% in Q2. Management noted they have passed on two-thirds of the cost increases via ticket pricing while seeing only a slight 2-point dip in seat factor. With nearly Rs 29,900 cr in free cash, IndiGo plans to maintain short-haul efficiency while expanding internationally with A321 XLRs and incoming A350 aircraft starting Q2 2028, targeting roughly 600 aircraft by 2030.
