Have you ever wondered about the flight schedule of an aeroplane while flying? Well, Bengaluru lawyer Ajay Rotti did and he was left impressed with his findings. While checking the flight schedule of an IndiGo flight he was flying on, Ajay found that the plane had been flying since 6 AM. It had eight destinations scheduled for 24 hours and 4 of these were international routes! This detail greatly impressed him and he complimented the airline for their “unbelievable efficiency.”
Bengaluru Man Compliments IndiGo For Its Efficiency
Unbelievable efficiency. My Indigo flight from Chennai landed and parked at the International terminal. Just out of curiosity checked it's schedule.

Bengaluru lawyer Ajay Rotti was recently flying in an IndiGo flight when curiosity got the best of him. While waiting to deboard, he noticed the schedule of the flight and was pleasantly surprised to know that the plane had been flying since 6 AM. It had 8 flights scheduled, out of which, 4 were international routes! He took to X (formerly Twitter) to share about this and even attached a screenshot of the plane’s schedule. He asked the people to “Give the Devil its due!” and complimented the airline for its “unbelievable efficiency.”
Mr Rotti, thanks a bunch for acknowledging the effort put in by our teams to keep our flights running smoothly every day. It’s all in a day’s work for us, but it means a lot to hear that our customers notice and appreciate it. See you onboard soon :) ~Prabh

Recently experienced “Indigo efficiency” .
Flying from srinagar to Delhi, flight came to srinagar from somewhere else, could see passengers going out from the terminal and within 15 minutes of landing passengers were boarded and flight took off in 30 minutes. Amazing @IndiGo6E

Always have appreciated IndiGo for its great turnover time. Recently experienced even better turnover times in Hong Kong Express. I was still walking towards the immigration in Chiang Mai when they had already started boarding for the flight back to Hong Kong.

blows my mind honestly that a machine could survive so much
could thank strict regulations but airplanes are truly incredible feats of engineering— VikramAditya (@Vikramaditya_28) April 18, 2024
Indigo is sustaining just because of its planning and management. They should start few luxury aircrafts also

No wonder it’s the only airlines consistently making profits inspite of the headwinds it’s been facing. Just pure common sense and effective utilisation of the resources. I hope that regular aircraft maintenance is also happening with almost continuous flying.

Even I noticed this yesterday while checking for my indigo flight to hyd. 8 trips in a day, absolutely crazy!

True sir. They’ve always been super efficient with their planes and saving parking fees. Know someone in the internal team
— Anant Mathur (@anantsm) April 18, 2024
Always amazed by human evolution and achievement when I see these machines constantly crossing oceans and thousands of miles back to back with little break.

I read early on about why they don’t have inflight magazines because it’s add to their weight and then reduces fuel efficiency – even their air hostesses are given wigs so that they can spend less time getting ready!

One leg gets delayed, the remainder of the legs go tumbling down. Experienced 2 days in a row flight delays due to late incoming aircraft.

There were also some hilarious comments that you just can’t miss!
Why waste time in landing and take off, drop and board passengers from air
— Akhil Agrawal (@akhilca) April 17, 2024
Going by this rate, Indigo will soon drop off passengers on the runway without parking. They anyway have experience of handling passengers on runway. 😂 Inka majoroty cabin crew aur service thoda kharaab baaki sab badhiya he.

There were, of course, questions about flight maintenance and crew changes for IndiGo flights in the comments.
Worry about the maintainence
Read a bit about Indigo safety issues on google
Corporate maximisation till the last drop isn’t always best
They outsource their maintainence and few other cost saving ideas, i find bad for safety
I never travel on Indigo (unless no option)
— Harely XVI (finwizz.live) (@xvi_harley) April 18, 2024
When do they get time for maintenance
— Tin (@kalaptin) April 18, 2024
This is actually scary and I am not even sure if they doing maintenance properly or proper checks before every flight…
— blomkist (@blomkist1) April 18, 2024
I believe in between there is a #change in the #crew!! #Airlines must do #fatigue #management
