IndiGo, India's largest airline, is considering expanding its international reach to the US and Europe. CEO Pieter Elbers said in a recent media roundtable that the airline is "exploring options" for entering these new markets. IndiGo already operates a substantial number of international routes, but adding the US and Europe would be a major leap forward. The airline is known for its low-cost model, so it would be interesting to see how it competes against established carriers in these markets. Elbers also said that IndiGo is continuing to expand its domestic network, and that it is open to the possibility of adding first and business class seats to its aircraft in the future.
