Before analyzing Indigo, let us first understand different parameters to look for in an aviation company.

Available Seat Kilometer (ASK) – It captures the total flight passenger capacity of an airline in kilometers. It is obtained by multiplying seats available and distance flown – seats available ×distance flown

Revenue Passenger Kilometer(RPK) – It is the total revenue generated by flight passengers. That is No. of Paying Passengers x distance flown.

Fuel Savings – This depends on the Airbus that is being used. This parameter is similar to the one in automobiles. Some Bikes are fuel efficient and some are not. In the same way some airbuses are fuel efficient and some are not
