Initially, IndiGo had already planned a significant capacity increase, however given the unprecedented demand for air travel on Prayagraj route, more flights have been added recently. For this special period, the airline will now operate more than 165,000 seats to/from Prayagraj, that is more than double its normal capacity to the airport.
During this period, IndiGo will connect Prayagraj to 10 locations in India, adding connectivity from Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Jaipur, over and above existing connectivity from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Raipur and Bhubaneswar. Additionally, the airline has also increased capacity deployed on existing routes to/from Prayagraj through addition of frequency and operations of A321, its larger aircraft. Overall, the airline will operate around 900 flights to/from the city, up from 490 regular services.
IndiGo is committed to supporting the efforts of the government by ensuring smooth travel for pilgrims. Besides the additional capacity that the airline has already activated, it is working on reallocating capacity from other parts of its network to add more flights, to cater to the influx of passengers. The airline has also ensured to stabilise airfares and is committed to providing the best possible travel experience to all its customers.
IndiGo remains dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and affordable air travel, and this capacity increase from Prayagraj underscores the airline’s commitment to connecting people and places, especially during significant cultural and religious events.
