Isidro Porqueras Named COO of IndiGo

IndiGo has appointed Isidro Porqueras as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective November 1, 2024, succeeding Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, who is retiring after leading operations since 2018. Porqueras brings over 25 years of experience in operations, commercial strategy, and finance, previously serving as COO at Volotea. CEO Pieter Elbers expressed confidence in Porqueras's ability to drive growth and enhance IndiGo's strategic vision as the airline transitions into long-haul services, recently ordering 30 Airbus A350-900 aircraft. Prock-Schauer is recognized for his significant contributions during his tenure, including steering the company through challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. Porqueras, who joined IndiGo in April 2024 as Chief of Transformation, is eager to build on the foundation laid by his predecessor. This leadership change is part of a broader transformation strategy at IndiGo aimed at expanding its market reach.
