Aditya Ghosh, President of low-cost airline IndiGo, which has filed for an initial public offering of shares, attributes the company’s success to its business model, which he says will be successful in any part of the world. “… it is no surprise that what is happening in India is only a reflection of the fundamentals of the airline business which play out in any other part of the world,” he said in an interview.
“We have picked a certain format which is this two-hour average stage length and we want to be the very best in the world in that,” he added. What IndiGo is doing is not inconsistent with what some of the successful airlines in the world have done.
“At IndiGo, we are sticking to what the book tells you to do – stick to one type of aircraft and create efficiency,” Ghosh said. Besides getting the basics right, Ghosh said the airline had leveraged on technology to keep its costs under check, giving it a huge advantage over competition.
“Somebody has to ask why not stick to what makes some of the best airlines in the world successful,” he emphasised.
