Female flyers on IndiGo can now pick a seat next to other women for safety

Prior to its implementation, IndiGo Airlines conducted market research to ensure it adequately addressed the requirements of its female passengers

IndiGo has introduced a new feature in its web check-in process, allowing female passengers to view seats already reserved by other female passengers. This initiative aims to enhance the comfort and safety of women travellers, reported The Times of India (ToI).

According to a statement from the airline, "The feature offers visibility of seats booked by female passengers only during web check-in. It is specifically tailored to PNRs with women travellers — solo as well as part of family bookings… [this is] currently in pilot mode aligning with our 'girl power' ethos."

This feature empowers female travellers, particularly those travelling solo, to opt for seats adjacent to other female passengers for added safety and comfort. Before its implementation, the airline conducted market research to ensure it adequately addressed the requirements of its female passengers.
