India's largest airline IndiGo is looking at a 30 percent capacity growth and half of it will cater to the international market, said the carrier's top official.
Besides this, IndiGo is exploring wide-bodied aircraft for international expansion while admitting that despite being dangerous they are inevitable, said a report in the CNBC TV18 quoting Ronojoy Dutta, the CEO of the no-frills carrier.
Saying that the country's domestic aviation market would continue to grow at around 14 percent, Dutta believes that IndiGo will not commit the mistakes that led to the decline of Jet Airways and said the budget carrier would take a cautious approach for its overseas expansion plan, the report said.
In May this year, the founders of the budget carrier — Rahul Bhatia and Rakesh Gangwal — had locked horns over strategies and ambitions for IndiGo, the largest airline in the country by passengers carried and fleet size, with a 49.9 percent domestic market share.
Promoters hold about 75 percent stake in InterGlobe Aviation as per March quarter shareholding pattern on the BSE.
The reports of the spat between IndiGo's major promoters threw the employees of the airline into disarray besides pulling down the shares.
Later, Dutta had clarified that one of the co-founders of IndiGo had no plan to take control of the carrier.
