IndiGo Places Firm Order For 500 Planes With Airbus

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.

The order’s financial details were not disclosed.

Earlier this year, Tata Group-owned Air India had placed orders for 470 aircraft with Airbus and Boeing.  Currently, IndiGo operates more than 300 aircraft. 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.
