IndiGo Soars Past Air India Group in International Passenger Traffic

• IndiGo carried 41.3 lakh international passengers in July–September 2025, surpassing Air India Group's 41.1 lakh.
• This marks the first time IndiGo has overtaken Air India Group in international passenger traffic in a quarter.
• The shift is attributed to Air India Group's operational challenges, including capacity cuts after the AI 171 crash.
• IndiGo maintained regular operations and high-frequency services, capturing incremental traffic during the period.
• Despite the passenger lead, Air India Group still dominates international cargo and has a broader network.

Why It Matters: IndiGo becomes India's top international passenger airline, marking a significant shift in the aviation market.
