IndiGo, India's leading airline by market share, announced a fresh procurement deal with Airbus on Thursday. The deal involves the acquisition of 30 Airbus A350-900 widebody aircraft, scheduled for delivery commencing in 2027.
IndiGo's current fleet boasts over 350 aircraft. In June 2023, the airline made headlines by securing the largest single aircraft order ever placed by any airline—500 aircraft with Airbus.
This latest order further bolsters IndiGo's position as a key player in the aviation industry.
Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, said, “Today’s historic moment marks a new chapter for IndiGo and will further shape the future of the airline and for Indian aviation at the same time. For IndiGo, after successfully pioneering the Indian skies with an unprecedented journey, its fleet of 30 Airbus A350-900 aircraft will allow IndiGo to embark on its next phase of becoming one of the leading global aviation players."
