CHENNAI-<\/strong> IndiGo (6E)<\/a> is India’s largest and most popular low-cost carrier, known for its consistent performance and customer satisfaction. One of the reasons behind its success is the uniformity <\/strong>of its flights, which offers reliability and easy maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some (including me) might find IndiGo\u2019s interior design a bit mundane and outdated, especially compared to other airlines, says Ramprasath<\/strong>, an Avgeek and traveler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo New Interiors and More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why I was pleasantly surprised when I traveled in one of their new aircraft while flying from Chennai to Pune last month. I noticed a few tweaks to the interior that made the flight a bit more convenient. Here are some of the changes that I observed and appreciated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was one of the very first IndiGo aircraft out with RECARO Aircraft Seating\u2019s bestselling economy class seat, the BL37101. The new seats were chosen last year to outfit IndiGo\u2019s brand-new A320neo and A321neo aircraft. RECARO Aircraft Seating is a global supplier of premium aircraft seats for airlines & OEMs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo is the first airline in India to be outfitted with this highly acclaimed economy-class seat. IndiGo claims that this lightweight seat (less than 10 kg per pax) features a slim design, integrated neck support, and an ergonomic backrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Subtle Changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The tray tables are now retractable! Once opened, they could be pulled towards me for a few centimeters, making using my laptop or eating my meal easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electronic device warning signs replaced the no smoking signs above every seat, which made more sense as smoking is already prohibited on all flights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new signs remind you to switch off or put your devices on airplane mode during take-off and landing, which is important for safety reasons. The no smoking warning is now a subtle message printed on the tray table itself. Loved it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exit signs are modified, and lavatory indicators are added. The exit signs were modified to look more modern and clearer. They now have a white background with red letters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lavatory indicators turn red when passengers are not supposed to use the lavatories i.e., during take-off, landing, and other emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These modifications, albeit minor, are meaningful in my opinion. I hope these modifications can be seen in every new IndiGo aircraft lined up for delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe IndiGo should also add charging ports, considering that economy classes in India lag far behind the rest, and these new aircraft would be operational for at least the next 15 years. Given the surge in Indian aviation, airlines need to keep pace soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
