IndiGo CEO Sees Opportunity Despite Tough Industry
IndiGo's chief executive, Willie Walsh, spoke at his first in-person briefing since taking charge in August. He said the airline sees many opportunities, though he called the current industry situation challenging. He also said IndiGo expects to begin receiving wide-body A350 jets from the second quarter of 2028.
Context
IndiGo is India's largest airline by passenger numbers, and Willie Walsh previously led British Airways' parent group IAG. Wide-body jets like the A350 carry more passengers on long international routes, so their delivery timing shapes expansion plans.
