IndiGo has once again proven its dominance in international skies by clinching the Partner of the Year title at the Changi Airline Awards 2025. The airline’s robust growth between India and Singapore has not only elevated Changi Airport’s status but also set new records in passenger traffic. IndiGo’s success highlights India’s rising influence in global aviation, as airlines from the country now command a stronger presence worldwide.
Since launching its Singapore operations in 2011, IndiGo has expanded to 75 weekly flights, linking nine Indian cities to the city-state. Thanks to strategic partnerships and aggressive route planning, the airline witnessed a staggering 64% surge in passenger numbers during 2024. Notably, this achievement significantly helped Changi Airport surpass pre-pandemic traffic levels, with over 68 million travelers passing through its gates.
IndiGo’s collaborations with travel industry stakeholders in Singapore have been crucial. The airline teamed up with Changi Airport Group and Singapore Tourism Board to promote tourism between the two nations. These efforts boosted leisure and business travel, delivering economic benefits to both India and Singapore. The carrier’s codeshare with Qantas also expanded travel options to Australia via Singapore, enhancing its international reach even further.
Looking ahead, IndiGo plans to deepen its footprint across Southeast Asia, possibly launching new routes and partnerships. With its investment in modern, fuel-efficient aircraft, IndiGo also aligns closely with global sustainability goals. The airline’s vision for expansion promises even stronger links between South Asia, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
IndiGo’s remarkable performance underlines a bigger shift: Indian airlines are no longer regional players but global influencers. As IndiGo continues to grow and innovate, it cements India’s reputation as a major force in world aviation.
