IndiGo airline

IndiGo is India's largest passenger airline, established in 2005. The brand is the primary aviation brand of InterGlobe Aviation Limited, which was co-founded by Rahul Bhatia of InterGlobe Enterprises and Rakesh Gangwal. Since commencing operations in August 2006 with a single aircraft, it has grown into a dominant low-cost carrier, known for its operational efficiency and punctuality. The airline is headquartered in Gurugram, India, and maintains its primary hub at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi.

Ownership of the brand is held by InterGlobe Aviation Limited, a publicly traded company on the Indian stock exchanges (NSE and BSE). As of 2026, the company continues to be led by the promoter group headed by Rahul Bhatia. In a significant leadership transition in early 2026, the company appointed veteran aviation executive Willie Walsh to succeed Pieter Elbers as CEO. While the airline operates a global network across dozens of international destinations, its roots, management, and headquarters remain firmly based in India, making it a cornerstone of the nation's aviation infrastructure.
