Next year, our 321XLR will be coming in, taking us well into Europe, Asia, Southern India and even Australia,” Elbers said. The airline is introducing business class cabins on selected aircraft to support international expansion, he added. “We won't let go of our original mantra of providing low-cost travel to India’s passengers, but offer more choices to the customer ready to pay more. Our ambition is to keep cost leadership in this incredibly competitive Indian market. If the additional costs of complexity are outweighed by the additional revenues, we should go after that opportunity. We are determined to keep our cost leadership and we are not making any changes to that product,” Elbers said.
