IndiGo plans to add overseas, domestic destinations in FY26 as it expands network
IndiGo, India's largest airline by market share and fleet size, plans to start flights to 10 new overseas and four new domestic destinations in FY26 to expand its network. "We will add Hindon, Adampur, Navi Mumbai and Noida as domestic destinations, which will take the total domestic destinations count to 95 in FY26,' IndiGo's CEO Pieter Elbers said at a briefing in New Delhi on Friday. 'In terms of international, we will add Manchester, Amsterdam, London, Copenhagen, Siem Reap, Athens and four more destinations in Central Asia, taking the total international destination count to 50 in FY26." IndiGo will start its long-haul operations with non-stop flights between Mumbai and Manchester and between Mumbai and Amsterdam in July. The airline will use Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft wet-leased from Norse Atlantic Airways, inclusive of its crew. IndiGo currently has wet-leased aircraft from Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways. Norse Atlantic Airways is its third partner. IndiGo is the launch partner for two airports expected to start operating in the second half of this calendar year – Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) and Noida International Airport (NIA). The airline plans to operate 18 daily departures from NMIA when commercial operations start. IndiGo plans to eventually increase its daily departures to 79, including 14 international departures. By November 2026, IndiGo plans to have 140 daily departures including 30 international departures. IndiGo also signed a memorandum of understanding with Bangalore International Airport Ltd to build a maintenance, repair and overhaul facility, its third, to help maintain its fleet. IndiGo and BIAL are likely to set up a 31-acre facility that can be used to service both narrowbody and widebody aircraft. IndiGo continued its stellar financial performance in Q4 and FY25. The airline recorded profit after tax of ₹ 3,068 crore in Q4, which is a jump of 62% from ₹ 1,895 crore in Q4 of FY24. For FY25, Indigo's total income stood at a record ₹ 84,098 crore, an increase of 18.1% YoY. However, profit in FY25 dropped 11.2% to ₹ 7,258 crore, largely due to forex losses and higher operating costs.

Thanks to the Fed's series of rate hikes in 2022 and 2023, inflation has cooled significantly from its post-pandemic highs, drawing closer to the 2% goal. This disinflation has occurred without severely impacting economic growth, suggesting the success of a soft landing. The stock market thrived in 2024, spurred by recent rate cuts (0.5% in September and 0.25% in November), and a notable surge followed Donald Trump's presidential election win in November, propelling indices to historic highs. Nonetheless, the outlook for 2025 remains clouded by potential trade policy changes and corporate tax discussions, which could impact business confidence and growth. The path forward holds both optimism and caution as new policies take shape. Want to invest in winners with rock-solid fundamentals? Check out our Hidden Gem Stocks and add them to your watchlist.

Take a look at United's huge Polaris Studio suites with 27-inch screens coming to its Boeing Dreamliners
United Airlines unveiled new cabins for future Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets. Polaris Studio suites will feature 27-inch screens, and have caviar and Champagne on the menu. Business class will now have sliding privacy doors, and economy has the largest screens of its class. United Airlines last week unveiled its plans for an all-new cabin, with some huge business-class suites. The top premium cabin will include two rows of Polaris Studio suites, which have 27-inch 4K screens. Passengers will be able to dine on caviar and sip on Laurent-Perrier Champagne. Its standard Polaris suites will also be upgraded with the addition of a sliding privacy door and larger 19-inch screens. Premium-economy seats will feature wireless charging and a built-in reading light for the first time. Even coach is getting an upgrade, with what United says is the largest screens of any economy cabin. Every cabin will also have access to Bluetooth connectivity to use their own headphones with the in-flight entertainment. The new suites and upgraded interiors will be available on United's new Boeing 787 Dreamliners, with the first expected to be delivered by the end of the year. Their first international flights are planned in 2026, from San Francisco to Singapore and London. United's new Boeing 787s will feature an upgraded Polaris business class. The first rows of each business-class section will be dedicated to Polaris Studio suites. They come with more space and more amenities and are closer to a traditional first-class suite. It includes access to the tarmac-transfer program — a chauffeur ride that's ideal for making a connecting flight. These are 25% larger than the standard Polaris offering. Six of these eight suites also come with an extra ottoman seat so you can hang out with a travel companion. United says they're also set to have the largest screens of any 787 in the US. Bedding will be provided by Saks Fifth Avenue. The suites also have wireless charging, and power and USB-C sockets. These elite Studio suites also have the service to match. Passengers will be offered Laurent-Perrier Rosé Champagne and an amuse-bouche of Ossetra caviar. There are upgraded amenities, including United-branded playing cards. Skincare products are provided by Perricone MD, and there are noise-cancelling headphones, pajamas, and slippers. The business-class cabin includes a grab-and-go snack station. The regular Polaris suites will now feature sliding privacy doors. The central divider can also be lowered to bed height, which could be ideal for friends or couples flying together. At 19 inches, its 4K OLED touchscreen is smaller than the Studio suites. Seat choice can also play a role in adding more privacy. United is also upgrading its premium economy offering called Premium Plus. Wireless charging and a reading light in the privacy divider are new additions for United's Premium Plus. The 4K screen measures 16 inches, while there will also be holders for water bottles and headphones. United says its screens will be the largest in any Economy class.
