IndiGo will host the 81st annual general meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in Delhi in June 2025, marking the first time the meeting will be held in the country after a gap of 42 years.
The decision to host the 81st IATA Annual General Meeting (AGM) in India was made at the ongoing AGM in Delhi. India has previously hosted the AGM twice in Delhi, in 1958 and 1983.
IATA is a grouping of more than 330 airlines, including IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet, and Vistara. The annual general meeting and the World Air Transport Summit are scheduled to be held in Delhi from June 8 to 10, 2025, according to a release.
IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers expressed, “India, becoming the third largest economy within the next few years and leading the fourth industrial revolution with the use of AI, is a nation on the move. India’s rise in the global aviation landscape over the last years has been nothing short of remarkable.”
IATA’s Director General Willie Walsh said, “With record aircraft orders, impressive growth, and world-class infrastructure developments, India is firmly on the trajectory to become the world’s third-largest aviation market within this decade.”
