IndiGo plans lie-flat business, premium economy and a dense 333-seat economy cabin on A350 long-haul Europe routes. The airline aims to preserve low costs, use Indian metro hubs for feeder traffic and raise international capacity share to 40% by 2030.

Why this matters

The cabin plan follows IndiGo's FY30 goal to lift international capacity to 40% and its appointment of Willie Walsh as CEO to lead global expansion.
