Ajay and I discussed a variety of topics with the launch of IndiGo’s premium product, now known as Stretch, as well as its soon-to-be-launched FFP called IndiGo BluChip. We discuss the new product, passenger perspective on these developments, how it might be a successful launch, the increasing hybridization of IndiGo, potential codeshares, increased margins, IFE, new routes, and more. And then we get into details of IndiGo’s revenue-based FFP - BluChip, whether they add more earn/burn partners, and how that promises to shake up the space in the country, considering IndiGo commands over 60% of India’s domestic market share. As always, please do give feedback - it helps. We are now on YouTube too. ⁠follow me on @vishal1mehra","meta_description":"The second episode of The Indian AvGeek is here and it features one of India’s most authoritative voices on aviation, Ajay Awtaney.
