@ByERussell IndiGo will add Almaty, Baku, Jakarta, Nairobi, Tashkent, and Tbilisi to its map, and return to Hong Kong, by September — expanding its international reach beyond its pre-pandemic limit for the first time.
@ByERussell The aviation world is talking about India — as an international network opportunity, a huge growth market, the next China. Orders for more than a 1,000 planes by its two largest airlines will test India’s aviation ambitions. #PAS23.
@ByERussell “This is just the beginning, there’s more going forward,” IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers said at #PAS23. The airline is reportedly near a widebody order as well.
@ByERussell “The international market in India is largely underrated and underserved. We feel that we can do a wonderful job in India by IndiGo, whether you travel in the country, or to the country, or from the country, or via the country all of that will be served by us.”
@78tiger “#JetBlue now serves more than 100 destinations, quietly becoming an international #airline.” via @forbes.
