He pointed out that the one key differentiator between IndiGo and any foreign carrier is that the latter only get to the gateway points in India, while IndiGo can fly from Jaipur to Dubai or Lucknow to Dubai. The airline will get 230 aircraft in the next 14 years. “It's our way of saying that we have a long-term future. The aircraft that's going to arrive in 2025 will be in our fleet till 2035. We have an average of one aircraft coming in every month for the next 14 years,” mentioned Ghosh. With the Neos coming in from 2015, there will be an extra 300 nautical miles of range and almost 12-15 per cent less fuel burns. “The youngest airline in the country, IndiGo is the fastest growing low cost carrier in the world. But that's not because we did something phenominally brilliant but because we are in the right country. That is why we have ordered another 180 aircrafts,” asserted Ghosh.
