IndiGo's parent InterGlobe Aviation reported a fall of 18.6% in net profits to Rs 2,449 crore in Q3 FY25 from Rs 2,998 crore in Q3 FY24. The decline in profit was mainly due to a change in the festival season which had otherwise boosted air passenger traffic, according to company's exchange filing.

US's Delta Air Lines holds a prominent place in the international aviation industry backed by a large network and stable returns.
