Following this shift, IndiGo will now conduct its operations from both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 at Delhi Airport. The airline has already started notifying affected passengers and travel agents via SMS, telephone calls, and email. Customers are advised to verify their terminal details by checking their PNR on the IndiGo website or mobile app prior to travel.

This move is part of IndiGo’s broader strategy of expansion and operational optimisation, as the airline continues to consolidate its leadership in India’s aviation sector.

Despite global challenges such as tariff increases and geopolitical uncertainties, IndiGo remains optimistic about long-term growth. “Our plans to double in size by the end of this decade remain unchanged,” said Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, in a recent interview. “India has a vast untapped domestic market, and while global events do have an effect, our growth trajectory remains strong.”

Elbers underscored the importance of a solid domestic aviation base and expressed support for the ongoing consolidation in the Indian aviation space. He also stressed the urgency of establishing a robust indigenous maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) infrastructure—currently, IndiGo still sends its aircraft abroad for servicing.

With a workforce of over 60,000, IndiGo is setting its sights on further growth, including plans to develop a substantial presence at the upcoming Navi Mumbai airport while continuing operations at Mumbai’s existing terminals.

Addressing concerns over airfare hikes, Elbers called for a market-driven pricing approach, adding that India continues to be one of the most competitive and affordable aviation markets globally.
