IndiGo is the brand of InterGlobe Aviation Limited, an Indian low-cost airline that began flying in August 2006. It is headquartered in Gurugram, near Delhi, and is not a member of a global alliance; instead it works with partner airlines through codeshare agreements.

From there it serves around 140 destinations: close to 100 cities across India and more than 40 international points in the Gulf, Southeast Asia, Europe, East Africa and the Indian Ocean. It operates more than 2,000 flights a day.

The fleet of more than 430 aircraft is built around the Airbus A320neo family, including the long-range A321XLR, with ATR 72-600 turboprops on regional routes.
