375 A321neo, 125 A320neo: Airbus reveals IndiGo’s 500-plane order

Airbus on Friday said that IndiGo has split its 500-aircraft order into 375 A321neo and 125 A320neo planes.

Air India’s recent order with the European planemaker was pegged at 70 A321 neo, 140 A320neo, 34 A350-1000 and six A350-900 aircraft respectively, it said. While revealing the aforementioned break-up of IndiGo’s order, Airbus said the “final split” between A320neo and A321neo aircraft will be defined at “a later stage”.

In June, IndiGo placed the world’s largest single-tranche aircraft order with Airbus for 500 A320 family planes. These planes will be delivered between 2030 and 2035.
