New Delhi, Jan. 28 -- IndiGo, India's largest airline by market share and fleet size, sees the next phase of growth coming in from international operations, according to its top executive.

"A few years ago, our share of international (in terms of available seat kilometres) was a little over 20%. Within a time span of less than three years, our international percentage last quarter was 28%. As India evolves, internationalization will continue," chief executive officer Pieter Elbers said in an interview with Mint. "For that matter we had already purchased the Airbus XLR, which should come at the end of 2025; we have purchased the Airbus A350 which would come in in 2027."
