"Travel Advisory: Tuticorin Terminal Update Effective 03 August 2025, all IndiGo flights to/from Tuticorin (TCR) will operate from the New Terminal Building, offering a refreshed and enhanced airport experience for our customers.
"We encourage you to update your contact details to receive timely notifications and to monitor your flight status for a smooth and well-prepared journey. Thank you for choosing to fly with us," the post read.
A day earlier, InterGlobe Aviation Limited, operating the airlines, announced a consolidated net profit of Rs 2,176 crore during the first quarter of 2025-26, despite a turbulent operating environment influenced by geopolitical tensions, airspace restrictions, and a tragic aviation accident in Ahmedabad.
The carrier registered about 12 per cent year-on-year growth in passenger volumes, carrying 3.1 crore passengers during the April-June 2025 quarter, showcasing resilient demand even as yields declined by 5 per cent to Rs 4.98 per km and load factor dipped by 2.1 points to 84.6 per cent.
Revenue from operations rose 4.7 per cent to Rs 20,496 crore. However, the airline's profit after tax dropped 20.2 per cent from Rs 2,729 crore in Q1 2024-25.
Pieter Elbers, CEO, said, "The June quarter was shaped by significant external challenges that created headwinds for the entire aviation sector. Despite these industry-wide disruptions, we reported a net profit of Rs 21,763 million with a net profit margin of around 11 per cent for the quarter ended June 2025."
"While the revenue environment saw moderation, demand for air travel held strong as we served more than 31 million passengers during the quarter, reflecting a growth of around 12 per cent on a year-over-year basis," Elbers added.

While the new terminal is welcome, Indigo should focus more on customer service. Last time my flight was delayed by 3 hours and no proper communication was given. Better infrastructure must come with better service!
This is a big boost for Tamil Nadu's connectivity. Tuticorin is becoming an important business hub and good airport facilities will attract more investments. Kudos to AAI and Indigo for this development!
As a frequent traveler to Tuticorin, I'm excited about this change. The new terminal looks modern in pictures. Hope they've included sufficient seating and charging points - these small things make a big difference during waits.
Good to see regional airports getting upgrades. But Indigo, please don't increase fares citing 'improved facilities'. We common people depend on your affordable pricing. The 12% passenger growth shows people trust you, don't break that trust.
The profits show Indigo is doing well despite challenges. But as a shareholder, I'm concerned about the 20% drop in PAT. Hope the new terminal operations don't add to costs. Need to maintain that balance between growth and profitability.
