IndiGo also has the Airbus A-320 and A-321 in its fleet in addition to the ATR. Out of all domestic air traffic in India, 60% is handled by IndiGo. Prospects in less populous cities are being examined by the company. Air traffic in these cities is predicted to rise as a result of improved airport infrastructure and the government's UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) program.
