IndiGo Airlines (6E, Delhi International) will debut a business-class cabin on selected aircraft and routes by the end of the year in a significant shift away from its low-cost roots. CEO Pieter Elbers confirmed the change during a May 23 earnings call, saying that rising demand for premium travel and a need to cater to the corporate market were behind the decision.

IndoGo has selected the RECARO R5 premium seat as part of the new Stretch product. This seat, recognizable by its privacy headrests and wide pitch, is the same as the one chosen by Alaska Airlines (AS) for its new premium cabin retrofit programs on the Boeing 737.
