Airline major IndiGo on Thursday said it has transported 67.9 crore doses, or 67.9 per cent of total vaccines, in India. The airline carried 1,727 tonnes of Covid vaccine via 4,505 flights from January 12 to October 20, securing a share of 67.9 per cent in vaccine transportation during this period.
IndiGo Chief Commercial Officer, William Boulter said: “We feel privileged to be able to contribute to the national vaccination program through safe and hassle-free transportation of 67.9 crore vaccine doses over the last nine months."
“It is an honour to be the largest transporter of Covid vaccines in the country, carrying almost 190 tonnes of vaccine Cargo across the country every month," he added. IndiGo has drawn ‘clear’ defensive strategies as the sector is expected to become more competitive, the airline’s top executive said.
At present, the Covid battered sector is beaming with life as high passenger loads are witnessed on the back of vaccinated travellers and easing restrictions.
Estimates indicate a massive rebound in air travel sans the impact of high jet fuel prices.
Presently, only about seven per cent of the country’s population use air transportation services. The high potential of the sector has attracted new and old players alike.
