At the Paris Air Show on Monday, IndiGo announced a firm order for 500 A320 family planes from European aviation giant Airbus.

IndiGo said in a statement that this is the largest aircraft order ever placed by any airline with Airbus.

It has previous orders totalling 480 aircraft, which are yet to be delivered.  “With this additional firm order of 500 aircraft for 2030-2035, IndiGo’s order book has almost 1,000 aircraft yet to be delivered well into the next decade,” the airline said in a release.

IndiGo’s order book includes A320 NEO, A321 NEO, and A321 XLR aircraft.
