“We estimate the country to grow aircraft capacities by 11 per cent over FY24-30 and seat capacities at slightly higher CAGR. At the same, we build in some part of the risk of the Boeing Exposure (more than 25 per cent of a backlog of Indian Carriers) getting deferred beyond its timeline,” Kotak said, adding, “IndiGo has shared a 2030 capacity guidance suggesting 11-12 per cent CAGR in the fleet count and a slightly higher CAGR for ASK (available seat kilometres) and is well-placed to deploy this capacity across domestic and international routes. Pricing, the one variable for IndiGo, may not see a meaningful impact from competition.”
Moreover, opening of new airports may lead to healthy growth in demand over a base not yet fully served by Indian carriers, Kotak asserted.
