Airbus not delivering planes fast enough: Indigo

Indigo, India’s budget carrier, said that the Airbus SE is not delivering planes fast enough.

The airline is also the biggest customer for Airbus’ best-selling A320neo jets. “The delay in getting planes on time is forcing the airline, operated by InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, to slow down the pace of expansion,” executives said.

“The issue is on the supply side,” Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ronojoy Dutta said on a conference call with investors on Thursday.

“The reason why we are not growing fast enough is because we are not getting airplanes fast enough from Airbus,” he added.
