New IndiGo CEO Willie Walsh outlined disciplined growth amid airspace and supply-chain challenges, with international expansion and domestic-network strengthening. The airline targets over 550 aircraft, nearly 3,000 daily departures and almost 200 million annual passengers by 2030.

Why this matters

The plan reinforces IndiGo's recent CEO-led path toward 3,000 daily flights by 2030 and its stated 550+ aircraft, 3,000-flight and 200m-passenger targets, following its 20th-anniversary domestic-ticket refund initiative.

Leadership is steady, with 1,012 signals recorded over the past 90 days.
