India's leading low-cost carrier, IndiGo on Monday announced the introduction of business-class services for the first time since its inception. The announcement comes as the airline celebrates its 18th anniversary, marking a significant addition to its service offerings.

IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers today said, "Starting tomorrow, passengers travelling between metro cities will have the option to book business class seats on IndiGo flights."

While bookings will open immediately, the new business class service, however will be available for travel beginning only this November.

This move represents a major departure for IndiGo, which has built its reputation on providing affordable, no-frills service. The introduction of a business class option could attract a new segment of travellers seeking added comfort and convenience on domestic routes.

IndiGo announced wide-body aircraft operation too on its 18 year of anniversary that by 2027 IndiGo will start IndiGo wide body services on Airbus 350 -900 planes.

Currently, IndiGo operates over 400 routes, including 34 international destinations. The CEO also shared plans for further expansion, with seven new international routes set to be launched soon, strengthening IndiGo's global presence.

This strategic move to introduce business class and expand its international network signals IndiGo's ambition to cater to a broader range of travellers while enhancing its competitive edge in the aviation industry. (ANI)
