Women booking tickets in an IndiGo flight can now know about the seats that have already been booked by other female passengers at the time of web check-in, with the airline introducing the new feature after a market research.

IndiGo is the country's largest domestic airline with a market share of over 60 per cent and carried 80 lakh passengers in April, as per an official data.

In a release on Wednesday, the airline said it has introduced a new feature that aims to make the travel experience more comfortable for female passengers.

"This has been introduced basis market research, and is currently in pilot mode aligning with our #GirlPower ethos. 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," it said.

PNR is Passenger Name Record.
