IndiGo to ramp up biz class to about 45 aircraft by '26

The Gurugram-based airline is currently implementing a phased rollout of IndiGoStretch, which was announced in August this year starting with the Delhi-Mumbai sector.

"Over the next 14 months, we will introduce 45 IndiGoStretch aircraft, expanding service to 12 routes with a frequency of over 260 daily flights," a company spokesperson said in an emailed response to Mint's query.

The premium business product, which offers comfortable and spacious recliner seating facility, will by early January 2025 cover all Delhi-Mumbai flights. This will be followed by full integration on the Delhi-Bengaluru and Delhi-Chennai routes by March 2025. According to its website, the product will operate on most of the metro-to-metro routes, with all 12 routes expected to be served by the end of 2025, a year after the launch of the service.

Impetus for science amidst a global churn

The relentless rise of technologies pervades every aspect of human life today, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is its enforcer. From manufacturing to services, from nano-materials to space travel, from new chemistry to biotechnology, the pace of this rise is frenetic. There are two extreme ways—and a few in between—for countries to address this rise. The first is to be a passive user and play with markets, services, and exports of natural resources, including human talent. The second is to become a truly competitive player in this changing world, and to tilt the use of science and technology for our social and economic benefit. Budget allocations can help in pointing out the direction.
