These Conditions of Carriage also known as ‘IndiGo’s CoC’ form a binding and enforceable contract of carriage between IndiGo and Customers governing a Customer’s carriage by air and matters ancillary thereto.
A Customer who has agreed and perused the contents of these Conditions of Carriage, agrees and understands that he/she has accepted to travel by IndiGo at his/her free will and volition and further agrees that IndiGo will not be liable or responsible for any liability other than the liability specified in these Conditions of Carriage.
The capitalized terms used in these Conditions of Carriage will have the meanings ascribed to them below.
The title or heading of each paragraph of the Conditions of Carriage is for convenience only and may be ignored for the purposes of interpretation.
The references to civil aviation requirements (CARs) issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DCGA) in these Conditions of Carriage shall mean the most recent version of CARs with all the relevant amendments.
These Conditions of Carriage shall apply only if the origin and destination of a Flight Segment is within India. In case any of the origin or destination of a Flight Segment is outside India, IndiGo’s Conditions of Carriage for international travel shall apply.
If there is any conflict between these Conditions of Carriage and IndiGo’s Tariffs, IndiGo’s Tariffs shall prevail over these Conditions of Carriage.
If any provision of these Conditions of Carriage is or becomes invalid or is held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions of these Conditions of Carriage shall remain valid and continue to be enforceable.
The ‘Booking’ constitutes prima facie evidence of the contract of carriage (except in the case of On-Hold Booking) between IndiGo and the Customer named in the Booking as per IndiGo’s database. IndiGo will permit carriage only to the Customer(s) named in the Booking, subject to (i) valid proof of identification being produced at the time of travel by the relevant Customer as mandated by Regulatory Authorities; and (ii) any other requirements imposed by law, regulations or IndiGo’s policies.
In order to ensure that a Customer is travelling on a valid ticket issued in his/her name, and to facilitate hassle-free movement of Customers, any of the following documents shall be carried in original, by a bonafide Customer as proof of identity:
An unaccompanied Child shall be required to produce any valid proof of identity listed above.
In case a Customer is not in a position to produce any of the documents listed above as proof of his/her identity, an identity certificate issued by a Group A Gazetted Officer of the Central or State Government on official letterhead, with the Customer's duly attested photograph, will be valid for this purpose.
In case of a Customer travelling on an international flight, a valid passport along with an air ticket shall also be required for entry into the airport and at check-in counters.
An Itinerary is sent to the email address of a Customer after completion of a Booking. A Booking in IndiGo’s official database is the primary record of carriage, and in the event of any discrepancy or conflict between an Itinerary and a Booking in IndiGo’s official database, the Booking retrieved from IndiGo’s official database will prevail.
Some Bookings may be made at discounted Tariffs, which may be partially or completely non-refundable. It is clarified that IndiGo does not issue open Bookings, i.e. a Booking is required to have a specific date, Sector and time of travel, and cannot be booked in an open-ended manner.
Bookings and corresponding payments may be made at any Point of Sale. All Customers making Bookings at Points of Sale are deemed to have agreed to be bound by the Conditions of Carriage. If a Customer makes a Booking through a Travel Agent, the Customer shall ensure that the Conditions of Carriage are made readily available to the Customer by the Travel Agent. Additionally, the Customer shall also ensure that a link to the Conditions of Carriage is included in the Itinerary. Any losses, claims or damages incurred by or made due to such discrepancy shall be borne entirely by the Travel Agent.
A Booking is valid from the date the Booking was made until the last date of travel set forth in the Booking. The Bookings or parts thereof, where relevant Customers fail to travel or check-in as per the terms of the Booking, are non-refundable, and will expire in accordance with the Conditions of Carriage.
IndiGo accepts Diners Club, MasterCard, VISA, Amex, Rupay cards and payments through united payments interface (UPI) for Bookings made though the Website and IndiGo’s mobile application. IndiGo accepts Visa credit cards and MasterCard credit cards issued by banks for Bookings made through IndiGo’s Call Centre. The usage of these cards, as a mode of payment, is governed by the terms and conditions framed by the respective banks issuing such cards. IndiGo does not accept cheques as a mode of payment for Bookings.
A Customer shall be responsible to ensure that the full payment of the Tariff against a particular PNR is successfully received by IndiGo at the time of making a Booking, at any Points of Sale. In case, IndiGo’s Booking system does not acknowledge the receipt of payment on account of any technical error or on non-receipt of payment from the bank or any default of payment for any reason whatsoever, IndiGo shall not be held responsible for the carriage of the said Customer(s) under the said PNR, or for any liability thereof.
Where cash is the mode of payment for Bookings made at IndiGo’s airport counters, such payments are subject to an overall limit of Rupees INR 1,99,999 (One Lakh Ninety Nine Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine) against any 1 (one) PNR. Any payments in excess of such overall limit will not be accepted at the airport counters, under any circumstances.
Customer’s GSTIN
A Customer holding a GSTIN may itself or through its representative or Travel Agent provide details of the GSTIN held by him/her to IndiGo, at the commencement of the process of Booking and before generation of the PNR. A Customer shall be solely responsible for validity and correctness of the GSTIN in the Booking. IndiGo will not assume any responsibility for verifying the validity and correctness of the Customer GSTIN. If a Customer has not mentioned the GSTIN in the Booking or has mentioned an invalid or incorrect GSTIN, IndiGo will not be held responsible and will not accommodate any request for inclusion or change in the Customer GSTIN in the Booking. The applicable GST will be charged to a Customer based on the Customer’s GSTIN and the Airline GSTIN relevant for the Booking. Only one Customer GSTIN can be mentioned against one PNR.
Issuance of Invoice to Customers
For Cards issued outside India: Customers who have used cards issued outside India, as a mode of payment for Bookings, may receive a verification call in relation to such payment. It is mandatory for the Customers travelling on such Bookings to carry the original card or a signed copy of the card used for making the Booking at the time of check-in.
If a payment transaction is not verified, the amount will be refunded, and an email notification will be sent to the Customer to make the payment towards such Booking by way of any of the prescribed alternative modes of payment, within the timelines prescribed by IndiGo, failing which the payment transaction may be cancelled.
We strongly recommend that Customers check their Itineraries for accuracy and verify all necessary particulars incorporated in the Itineraries immediately after making a Booking and in any event not beyond a period of twenty-four (24) hours from the time of Booking.
IndiGo can provide a travel certificate or a document evidencing travel at the charges set out here, per Customer per Sector. However, if such request is made through IndiGo’s call centre, an additional fee of INR 100 per person sector will apply.
The Checked-in Baggage allowance, Hand Baggage allowance, fees for changing or cancelling the Booking and other terms and conditions in relation to various Tariff Types can be accessed by clicking here. The terms and conditions in relation to Tariff Types shall be an integral part of the Conditions of Carriage and are incorporated here by reference.
Once a Booking is made, the Tariff that has already been paid shall only be refundable, subject to IndiGo’s policies in relation to changes or cancellation. If a Customer does not check-in for a flight at least 60 (sixty) minutes prior to its scheduled time of departure, the entire amount paid for the Booking will be retained by IndiGo. However, Customers are always entitled to a refund of Airport Charges in accordance with applicable law.
IndiGo allows cancellations or changes to be made to Bookings, subject to the following conditions:
In case of all Codeshare Flights, IndiGo will not be able to accept any requests for changes in the name once a Booking is complete, if the relevant Codeshare Partner does not permit such changes in name after completion of Booking, and the Customer’s Itinerary includes a Codeshare Flight.
In case of change or cancellation of Bookings, if IndiGo is required to refund Tariff or a part thereof to Customers, Customers will receive the refundable amount (after the deduction of the applicable fee per Customer per Sector mentioned above) as a (i) refund in accordance with the Conditions of Carriage, or (ii) at the option of Customers, as a Credit Shell.
However, in case of change or cancellation of Bookings on account of Force Majeure, Customers acknowledge that IndiGo shall decide the manner in which such refunds may be processed.
A Credit Shell may be utilised by Customers for future travel on IndiGo flights, within a specified period from the date of change or cancellation of the Booking in lieu of which a refund has been made.
Subject to this Clause 5.3 of the Conditions of Carriage, if a Customer opts for a refund of the excess amount, after deduction of the applicable fee, the refund will be made available in the following manner:
IndiGo shall be entitled to decline or refuse refund to a Customer, if the option to receive a refund is exercised after the departure of the flight.
A refund made by IndiGo in accordance with the terms of these Conditions of Carriage shall be deemed to be a proper refund to Customers and the same shall indicate that IndiGo has carried out all reasonable acts in its power in order to fulfil all its obligations / responsibilities under applicable laws and the Conditions of Carriage. The same shall discharge IndiGo from any further liability and any further claim towards refund from any Customer.
IndiGo shall make refunds either to the person named in the Booking, or to the person who has paid for the Booking or the relevant Travel Agent. The refund to the person not named in a Booking shall be processed upon submission of a satisfactory proof to IndiGo that such person is entitled to receive a refund.
A refund made in the manner set out in this Clause shall discharge IndiGo from liability and any further claim for refund from any person.
All refunds will be made in INR, after deducting any applicable fee and charges.
For any change or cancellation to a Booking made by a Travel Agent through the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”) billing and settlement plan (“BSP”), Customers should request all changes or cancellations to be done only through their respective Travel Agent, specifically for any partial cancellation in a Booking where any of the legs of the Bookings have not been utilized (no-show/ boarded). Any changes or modifications to a partially utilized (no-show/ boarded) Booking is not permitted.
Tariff is payable only for carriage from the airport at the point of origin, to the airport at the point of destination, unless otherwise expressly stated. Tariff does not include ground transport service between airports or between airports and town terminals.
The Tariff payable by a Customer will be calculated in accordance with IndiGo’s Tariff in effect, on the date of payment for a Booking. Tariff payable by Customer to IndiGo per Booking per Sector includes the following components:
The aforesaid components of Tariff may undergo a change at any time, without prior notice.
Any change in the Booking or dates of travel, may result in a change in the applicable Tariff to be paid.
All Bookings are subject to these Conditions of Carriage. Special Tariffs are subject to certain additional terms and conditions including the requirement to display additional proof of identity by Customers. If a Booking is made on special Tariff, except to the extent specified in the additional terms and conditions linked to such special Tariff, the Booking shall be subject to the Conditions of Carriage.
Airfare charges booked through all Points of Sale are bound by the Conditions of Carriage as applicable at the time of Booking.
IndiGo offers Tariff on a one-way basis. However, certain Promotional Airfares determined and offered by IndiGo require a round-trip Itinerary and once purchased do not allow partial cancellation of the Itinerary. Customers should refer to detailed terms and conditions attached to Tariff at time of making the Booking.
All classes of Tariffs are determined and quoted in Indian Rupees (INR) and may be subject to change without any notice. Once purchased the Tariff will not change after completion of a Booking, however if a Customer requests for a change in his/her Booking, revised Tariff may be applicable to the changed Booking.
Fuel charges may vary depending on the Sector, the date of Booking, and the actual date of travel.
CUTE charges (inclusive of GST) are levied on Customers, for every Sector, at select airports, for usage of CUTE services.
The amount of applicable taxes including GST, fees or charges payable by a Customer, are calculated as on the date of the Booking. If there is a change in an existing tax, fee or charge, or a new tax, fee or charge is imposed, after the date of Booking, a Customer will not be obliged to pay any additional amount (in case of an increase) or be entitled to get any refund (in case of any decrease), unless the Customer decides to change the date of travel which requires a change in his Booking or re-booking. A Customer may also be required to pay additional tax, fee or charge (including Airport Charges) after completion of a Booking, if such amount is required to be paid to a Regulatory Authority in relation to the Booking, pursuant to any change in applicable law.

IndiGo may also offer certain other services to Customers, from time to time, for which certain additional Fees may be charged by IndiGo.
Though IndiGo determines fixes and publishes Tariff only in INR, however, for the convenience of Customers, fares, applicable taxes, Fees, and charges are also payable in the currency chosen by a Customer or a Travel Agent while making a Booking. A Customer or a Travel Agent can choose only from the options of currencies provided by IndiGo. Please note that the amount of Tariff, Fees, any other charges and applicable taxes in some currencies (other than INR) are fixed by IndiGo, and may not be equivalent to the amount obtained after converting such amounts in INR at the exchange rate applicable at the time of Booking.
Requirements, Personal Data and Seating arrangements
Certain Tariffs have conditions that limit or exclude a Customer’s right to change or cancel Bookings.
A Customer is responsible to ensure that at the time of Booking, the Customer’s correct contact details (for example, valid mobile number and email address) are provided to IndiGo either by the Customer or the Customer’s Travel Agent for each city in the Customer’s Itinerary including the applicable country and area codes. This will assist IndiGo in (i) informing Customers of any changes in relation to the flight on which they are booked, (ii) issuing Invoices to Customers, and (iii) providing any other relevant information to Customers.
Customers recognise that personal data has been given to IndiGo in relation to Bookings and for ancillary services or products that may be offered by IndiGo or its service partners from time to time. Customers consent that such personal data may be used by IndiGo or its service partners to prevent credit card, debit card or identity fraud, and also to improve the experience of Customers with IndiGo. For these purposes, Customers authorise IndiGo to retain and use such data, and to transfer the data to IndiGo’s group companies, Travel Agents, government agencies, Regulatory Authorities, other carriers, service providers and other authorised third parties. Customers also recognise that IndiGo or its service partners may contact them via email or phone to inform them regarding the status of their Booking including any changes to the Booking, other services or other promotional schemes.

All Customers, including Customers accompanied by Infants or Children, must present any valid identification document set out in Clause 5.1 of the Conditions of Carriage, in original, at the time of check-in.
The Customers who fail to produce any of the above mentioned documents during the check- in process will be denied boarding by IndiGo, and IndiGo shall not be held liable for such denial or any other consequence resulting therefrom.
IndiGo recommends that Customers report for check-in at IndiGo counters, at least two (2) hours prior to the departure of the scheduled flight. A Customer’s journey will be smoother if the Customer has ample time to comply with the check-in requirements.
Further, a failure to check-in for a flight at least 45 (forty-five) minutes or any other time period prescribed by IndiGo, prior to the flight’s scheduled time of departure will result in retention of the No-Show Charges by IndiGo, and the Customer being declared a “No-Show”, and the Customer will not be entitled to a refund or a Credit Shell in lieu of the Tariff except for a refund of Airport Charges collected by IndiGo from the Customer. The refund of Airport Charges shall be made to the Customers who specifically request for such refund from IndiGo.
In case of Booking 2 (two) or more Sectors under different PNRs, it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that there is a sufficient time-interval between two flights, as their carriage may involve certain unavoidable circumstances or factors including a change in aircraft, flight delays or cancellation, issues in relation to Checked-in Baggage, operational issues or change in carriers at a Stopover . If a Customer misses his/her connecting flight due to such circumstances or factors, in a preceding Flight Segment, IndiGo shall not be liable for such missed connection, in any manner whatsoever.
Pursuant to the Order of the Ministry of Civil Aviation dated May 21, 2020, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic all Customers are mandatorily required to check-in for their flights online before arriving at the airport for any scheduled departure. In order to comply with the relevant government requirements, IndiGo has ensured that Customers are able to check-in for their flights by way of a tele-check-in over the phone, or online using a web browser or IndiGo’s mobile application, and download their baggage tags/baggage identification numbers prior to arriving at the airport.
Customers can do a web check-in on the Website anytime up to one (1) hour prior to the scheduled departure of their flights. It shall be the duty of Customers to ensure that the Customer’s Checked-in Baggage displays a Baggage Identification Tag at least 45 (forty-five) minutes prior to the scheduled time of departure of the Customer’s flight. Failure to check-in for a flight or failure to ensure that Checked-in Baggage displays a Baggage Identification Tag at least 45 (forty-five) minutes prior to the scheduled time of departure will result in retention of the No-Show Charges by IndiGo, and Customers being declared a “No-Show”.
In case of web check-in on the Website, the Customer is required to produce (in original) any of the above-mentioned documents evidencing the identity of a Customer, at the boarding gate, for verification.
To promote contactless travel, a passenger who has not checked-in online or over the phone prior to arriving at the airport, and checks-in at the airport check-in counter, will be charged a fee (“Assisted Check-in Fee”) of INR 100 per Customer per sector for each check-in. The Assisted Check-in Fee is non-refundable in case of a gate no show or in case a Customer decides not to travel.
IndiGo reserves the right to deny boarding to a Customer if he/she does not comply with the check-in requirements and prescribed timelines.
For Customers who check-in through the kiosks available at the airports, the identification check will be carried at the boarding gate by staff members of IndiGo. During the identification check, Customers will be required to produce any of the documents as set out in Clause 5.1 above. Customers who fail to produce any of the abovementioned documents will be denied boarding by IndiGo, and IndiGo shall not be held liable for such denial or any other consequence resulting therefrom.
To avoid any delays, the boarding gates will be closed 25 (twenty-five) minutes prior to the time of departure. Customers must be present at the boarding gate no later than the time specified at the time they check-in or any subsequent announcements made at the airport. Mere check-in or issuance of a boarding pass does not guarantee boarding unless a Customer adheres to all the requirements including the timelines mentioned in relation to boarding in the Conditions of Carriage. A Customer understands and acknowledges that such announcements may only be made in the event of a change of the boarding gate or change in the schedule of boarding and may be made orally through the airport sound systems, or through display/ notifications on the digital screens placed at airports by the airport authorities. IndiGo is under no obligation to make boarding announcements at airports designated as ‘silent airports’ and it is the duty of Customers to check the flight information display system (operated by an airport operator) for current boarding status and boarding gates. A Customer understands and acknowledges that IndiGo or its staff is not obligated to reach out to the Customer in the event that the Customer fails to be present at the boarding gate, in the manner required in terms of these Conditions of Carriage. IndiGo is not liable to any Customer who fails to report at the boarding gate for any reason whatsoever. Any Customer failing to report at the boarding gate within the aforesaid timelines shall be treated as a “Gate No-Show”.
IndiGo will not be liable to Customers for any damage, liability, loss, delay or expense incurred due to their failure to comply with the provisions of this Clause 8.

IndiGo shall also have the right to retain the amount paid by the Customer for such a Booking. IndiGo may, at its sole discretion, not penalize such Customers, in case of a medical emergency and other personal emergencies. In case of self-offloading by a Customer due to a medical emergency, IndiGo may require a certificate in relation to the same from the airport doctor.
At the time of checking in of Baggage, a Customer is required to check the details incorporated in the Baggage Tag and the Baggage Identification Tag.

For more details on permissible/ prohibited goods, please refer to the Website or write to us at customer.relations@goindigo.in.
IndiGo recommends that Customers should carry portable electronic devices as Hand Baggage. If a Customer carries such devices in Checked-in Baggage, the devices should be turned off and packed securely to avoid any damages.
IndiGo may refuse to carry as Baggage any item reasonably considered by the airline to be unsuitable for carriage because of its size, shape, weight, content, being radioactive, or character, or for safety or operational reasons, or in the interests of the comfort of other Customers. Information about unacceptable items is available upon request. IndiGo may refuse to accept Baggage for carriage unless it is in IndiGo’s reasonable opinion, properly and securely packed in suitable container/ packaging.
IndiGo will not be responsible for, or have any liability in respect of, articles removed from a Customer’s Baggage by any airport security staff or CISF.
Urns with ashes are allowed in Hand Baggage. Carriage of human remains is permitted on all aircraft except ATRs and shall be subject to IndiGo’s discretion where such carriage may cause any disruption or inconvenience to flight operations. The process for carrying human remains on an aircraft other than ATRs is as follows:
Any live human organs are accepted on board IndiGo flights and must be transported in accordance with AVSEC Circular No. 1/2017 dated January 06, 2017 and other applicable laws. Such live organs must not contain any infectious substances.

Information related to your connecting flights
Any Booking with respect to Connected Segments shall be required to be booked in advance, and all the Flight Segments in Connected Segments shall be confirmed on the same PNR and will be identified by a single fare component.
In cases where a Customer undertakes travel on Connected Segments, IndiGo will check-in the Checked-in Baggage through to the final destination of the Customer. However, in case of domestic to international connections and vice-versa, Customers will have to collect their Checked-in Baggage at the end of each leg and check-in again after completing applicable regulatory formalities. Customers will be provided with two boarding cards, one for the flight taken from the point of origin till the Stopover and other from the Stopover until the next destination. If at a Stopover, a Customer is required to change terminals, the Customer will be responsible for:
IndiGo will not provide any food or lodging at a Stopover. A ‘Stopover' in reference to ‘Connected Segments’, which requires change of terminals by a Customer at the Stopover shall include the arrival terminal (arrival from the point of origin) as well as the departure terminal (departure to the next destination).
If Customers fail to report at boarding gate, at least forty-five (45) minutes prior to departure of the concerned flight for the Connecting Segments despite having arrived on-time from the point of origin, the Customers will be treated as a ‘Gate No-Show’. The Checked-in Baggage of such Customers will be offloaded and handed over to the Customers or to the relevant airport authority at the Stopover station, without any liability of IndiGo. The Tariff paid for such Booking shall be retained by IndiGo. The Customers are, however, entitled to a refund of the Airport Charges (if applicable).
The Customers for Connecting Segments shall board the flight from the origin city only. Any requests for boarding from any Stopover point would be treated as cancellation and re-booking at the applicable fares, at the time of such request being made by a Customer.
In case of delay or cancellation of a flight operated as a part of Connected Segments, the following shall apply:
As required by applicable law, all Customers will be subjected to a security screening prior to boarding an aircraft. A Customer shall agree to any security checks prescribed by the Government, Regulatory Authorities, airport officials or by IndiGo.
Itineraries will be checked at the time of entering the terminal building. Checked-in Baggage will also be screened through an X-ray machine before check-in, at all non in-line baggage screening airports, subject to the requirements of applicable law. Random physical checks will also be carried out of Checked-in Baggage in addition to X-ray screening at all such airports, in accordance with the norms stipulated by the Regulatory Authorities.
As per security regulations, Customers will be required to undergo personal frisking and their Hand Baggage will be subject to security check through x-ray in the manner set out in Clause 11.5 of the Conditions of Carriage.
Checked-in Baggage reconciliation is carried out through an internal matching system. In addition to the Checked-in Baggage reconciliation, the physical identification of the Checked-in Baggage by Customers may also be carried out. Unidentified Checked-in Baggage will not be loaded on to an aircraft.
A secondary security check may also be carried out before embarkation, as stipulated by Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, during normal or high alert periods.
According to security regulations, Customers are required to do the following:
IndiGo is committed to provide on-time, courteous and hassle free service. IndiGo undertakes to use its best efforts to avoid delay in carrying its Customers and their Baggage. IndiGo endeavours to adhere to publish schedules in effect on the date of travel.

IndiGo will not be liable for any error or omission in publications of schedules, or in statements or representations made by employees, agents, or representatives of IndiGo, as to the dates or times of departure or arrival, or as to the operation of any flight.
At any time, after a Booking has been made, IndiGo may change schedules of flights or cancel, terminate, divert, postpone, reschedule or delay any flight, where IndiGo reasonably considers the same to be justified by unavoidable factors and circumstances beyond IndiGo’s control including Force Majeure, for safety reasons, or for commercial reasons. IndiGo would like to emphasize that any such change in schedule or cancellation of IndiGo’s flights on account of above factors and circumstances is at the absolute discretion of IndiGo, and such decision is taken keeping in mind the aircraft routing, aircraft connectivity and to avoid inconvenience to Customers at other airports.

IndiGo shall not be liable for any liability or claim if Customers have not provided accurate and valid contact information at the time of Booking. Customers will also be provided a prior notification, if they are required to report to the airport check-in counter earlier than the prescribed time period, before the scheduled departure of the flight, on account of extra security measures or for any other reason. A Customer understands and acknowledges that if his/her phone number and/or email address is found to be incorrect or unreachable or if he/she cannot be contacted due to any reason whatsoever, IndiGo cannot be held liable for the same.
Any compensation in this matter will be meted out as per DGCA CAR - Section 3, Series M, Part IV, Issue I, if applicable, and IndiGo’s liability will be in limited in accordance with the provisions thereof.

Upon the occurrence of any of the events set out in Clauses 14.1 and 14.2 above, the options outlined therein are the sole, limited and exclusive remedies available to Customers, and IndiGo shall have no further liability or claim towards Customers. A Customer may file a grievance with the AirSewa app or portal. If a Customer is not satisfied with the resolution of the Customer’s grievance by IndiGo, the Customer is at liberty to complain to any statutory body or court established under relevant applicable laws.
If, in IndiGo’s opinion, a Customer inside the airport or aircraft conducts himself in a manner which endangers the safety and security of the aircraft, IndiGo’s crew and authorised persons or any other Customer’s person or property in airport or on-board, or obstructs the crew in the performance of their duties, or fails to comply with any instructions of the crew, including but not limited to those with respect to smoking, alcohol or drug consumption, or behaves in a manner which causes discomfort, inconvenience, damage or injury to other Customers or the crew, IndiGo may take such measures as it deems reasonably necessary to prevent continuation of such conduct, including restraint. Such Customer may be disembarked and refused onward carriage at any point and may be prosecuted for offences committed on-board the aircraft.
If, as a result of the conduct (as mentioned in Clause 15.1 above) of a Customer, IndiGo decides, in the exercise of IndiGo’s reasonable discretion, to divert the aircraft for the purpose of offloading such a Customer, the Customer shall be required pay all costs resulting from that diversion.
For safety reasons, IndiGo may forbid or limit operation of electronic equipment, including but not limited to cellular telephones, laptop computers, portable recorders, portable radios, CD players, electronic games or transmitting devices, including radio-controlled toys and walkie-talkies, inside the aircraft.

What is a Codeshare flight?
A codeshare flight is a flight which may be operated by a carrier other than whose identifying carrier code is shown on flight tickets and operated by one or more carriers in agreement with the carrier, and which is sold as if operated by the carrier, using the carrier's own flight designator codes and flight numbers. It should be noted that if a flight operated by one of the carrier's codeshare partners is selected, then such operating carrier's contractual conditions may differ to these Conditions of Carriage, particularly with regard to the provisions set out in paragraph below (Terms and Conditions) of these Conditions of Carriage.
Codeshare flights will be affixed with a * during flight selection. Currently, IndiGo (subject to change at short notice) has a codeshare agreement with Turkish Airlines.
Terms and Conditions
If the flight that is chosen is being operated by the carrier's codeshare partner, the flight will be operated by a carrier that is not the carrier which issued the ticket, i.e. the marketing carrier.
If the flight is operated by a carrier other than the marketing carrier, the conditions of carriage applicable to the operation of such flight, will be the conditions of carriage of the operating carrier, and if any differences arise between operating carrier's conditions of carriage and these Conditions of Carriage, the operating carrier's conditions of carriage will take precedence. All operating carrier's conditions of carriage can be found on the operating carrier's own website.
In particular, aspects of service provision such as minimum check-in period, unaccompanied minors, Customers requiring medical assistance, infants, pregnant Customers, boarding the flight, carriage of animals, refusal of admission onboard, provision of oxygen tanks onboard, irregular operations, denied boarding, Baggage collection, free Baggage allowance, wheelchair assistance, lounge access, frequent flyer program accrual and limits of liability in relation to lost Baggage, amongst other conditions, should be carefully examined and must be adhered to. In cases where a Booking includes flights that are operated by one or more carriers, the operating carrier will be indicated at the time of Booking. If the operating carrier is unknown at the time the Booking is made, or if a change occurs after the Booking is made, the operating carrier will be indicated to the Customer once the operating carrier is confirmed.
Bookings made through channels which are not under direct control of IndiGo (e.g. travel agencies and websites other than the Website), the travel agents and website operators that executed the agreement with the Customer are liable to inform the Customers of the identity of the operating carrier, and of any change in operating carrier. The Customer shall provide the correct contact details at the time of Booking to make such notifications possible.
