IndiGo hits record 66.3% market share as Air India cuts capacity
IndiGo carried 89.2 lakh passengers in June to reach its highest-ever domestic market share. Air India’s capacity rationalisation, running through August, helped open share for rivals including Akasa Air, which reached 6.4%.
IndiGo reached a record 66.3% June market share as Tata-owned Air India cut domestic and international capacity amid aircraft constraints. Akasa Air gained share to 6.4%, while Gulf-route disruptions continue to pressure Indian carriers.
Why this matters
The record June share extends IndiGo's 64.3% H1 domestic market share and follows its move to line up 1,000+ CFM engines, reinforcing its scale-led expansion as Air India curbs capacity.
