IndiGo CarGo, the freight division of India’s largest airline, is setting its sights on global expansion to drive business growth in the current fiscal year. With a renewed focus on international markets, enhanced aircraft utilisation, and high-value cargo segments, the airline expects a low double-digit increase in both revenue and tonnage, according to Mark Sutch, Chief Commercial Officer of IndiGo CarGo.
The airline is strategically tapping into high-yield sectors such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and perishable goods, leveraging India’s growing role as a global manufacturing and export hub. By expanding its international cargo footprint and optimizing belly space across its vast passenger network, IndiGo aims to unlock new growth opportunities and strengthen its logistics capabilities.
Sutch emphasized that the airline is also working on streamlining turnaround times and expanding partnerships to enhance service reliability for international shipments. The move comes as demand for air cargo continues to rise post-pandemic, driven by e-commerce, urgent medical shipments, and time-sensitive cargo.
IndiGo CarGo currently operates with a fleet of converted freighter aircraft alongside its expansive passenger network. The carrier plans to further grow its freighter capacity and widen its reach to new destinations across Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.
With cargo now forming a key component of IndiGo’s long-term strategy, the airline is positioning itself not only as a leader in low-cost passenger transport but also as a major player in India’s rapidly evolving air logistics sector.
