Indian airline IndiGo has completed its cloud migration program.

The company shifted all of its workloads to the cloud in less than 18 months and has now closed its data centers.

According to the company, the migration has given the airline greater scalability and access to modern technology.

It is using advanced cloud technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics to support its services.

Neetan Chopra, IndiGo's chief digital and information officer, said: "IndiGo's cloud migration initiative has put us on the fast track of our digital transformation journey. We set ourselves a challenging timeline to fully transition to the cloud and close our data centers, and we’re proud to announce that we achieved this goal on time.

"This move not only enhances our agility and innovation but also strengthens our ability to deliver greater value to our customers through faster, more reliable, and scalable services, ensuring a superior experience in a rapidly evolving market."

The company did not publicly state which cloud provider it has migrated to, but has previously worked with Google Cloud on its 6Eskai AI-enabled chatbot.

IndiGo operates a fleet of more than 350 aircraft, handling around 2,000 flights daily.

The airline was previously a customer of STT GDC according to a case study published in 2022. That case study states that IndiGo used STT GDC India to host its primary and disaster recovery sites, including the necessary power and cooling infrastructure.

STT GDC India operates data centers in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Noida, and Pune. Which facilities were previously used by IndiGo was not shared.
