BQ Prime’s special research section collates quality and in-depth equity and economy research reports from across India’s top brokerages, asset managers and research agencies. These reports offer BQ Prime’s subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy. 

Domestic daily fliers have crossed 418,000 as per trends in December 2022 compared to levels of 416,000 seen during Dec-2019/Jan-2020 (pre-Covid).

Dec-22 average daily number of passenger stands at 414,000 versis 390,000 in Nov-22. Average daily departures have increased from 2,722 in Nov-22 to 2,814 in Dec-22 and pax per departure has increased from 143 to 147 during the same period.

Average aviation turbine fuel price is lower by 8% QoQ in Q3 FY23.

Domestic load factors are increasing with trends of 79%, 82%, 83% and more than 86% (major airlines) from Aug-22 to Nov-22, respectively.

Average Q3 passenger load factors could be close to 85% compared to 79% in Q2 FY23 assuming 85% PLF in Dec-22.

As such, we expect IndiGo to report strong profits of Rs 15-20 billion in Q3 FY23. Cost overrun on wet leases/lease extensions akin to H2 FY20 is a risk but one can expect compensation from original equipment manufactures.
