The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that IndiGo will host the 81st IATA Annual General Meeting (AGM) and World Air Transport Summit in Delhi, India, from June 8 to 10, 2025.
Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General, said, “We look forward to gathering the aviation industry in Delhi, India’s gateway city, for the 81st IATA AGM in 2025. It’s been over four decades since the industry came together for an IATA AGM in Delhi. 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. With such bright prospects, it’s the perfect time for the IATA AGM to return to India and witness these exciting developments first hand.”
According to Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, the airline is pleased to be the host airline for the 81st IATA AGM and looks forward to welcoming the worldwide aviation community to Delhi in 2025. India is a country on the move, poised to become the world’s third largest economy in the coming years and to lead the fourth industrial revolution through the application of artificial intelligence. India’s growth in the global aviation sector over the last few years has been nothing short of extraordinary.
“IndiGo has been giving wings to the nation since 2006 and increasingly also expands internationally. Building on aviation as a force for good and India’s unique diversity, we are looking forward to engaging in meaningful dialogues aimed at sculpting the global aviation landscape around important topics such as safety, diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as sustainability, while efficiently delivering the growing global demand for air travel,” said Elbers.
The decision to hold the 81st IATA AGM in India was decided during the 80th IATA AGM in Dubai. The IATA AGM will be held in Delhi for the third time, after earlier visits in 1958 and 1983.
