05 Aug 2025 CW Team

IndiGo Airlines has announced that, effective 3 August 2025, all its flights to and from Tuticorin (TCR) will operate from the new terminal building at Tuticorin Airport. The airline made the announcement via a post on social media platform X, encouraging passengers to update their contact details to receive timely notifications and ensure a smooth travel experience.

The updated terminal operations aim to provide passengers with a modern and enhanced airport experience.

Meanwhile, InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, the parent company of IndiGo, reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 21.76 billion for the first quarter of FY26, despite challenging market conditions due to geopolitical tensions, airspace limitations, and a tragic aviation incident in Ahmedabad.

The airline carried 31 million passengers between April and June 2025—a year-on-year growth of nearly 12 per cent—indicating strong demand resilience. However, yields declined by 5 per cent to Rs 4.98 per kilometre, and the load factor dropped by 2.1 percentage points to 84.6 per cent.

Revenue from operations rose by 4.7 per cent to Rs 204.96 billion. Despite the increase in revenue, net profit fell by 20.2 per cent compared to Rs 27.29 billion in Q1 FY25.

Commenting on the results, CEO Pieter Elbers said: “The June quarter was marked by significant external disruptions affecting the entire aviation industry. Yet, IndiGo recorded a net profit of Rs 21.76 billion and a margin of approximately 11 per cent.”

He added, “While the revenue environment softened, passenger demand remained robust, as evidenced by the over 31 million travellers we served—reflecting a strong 12 per cent annual growth.”
