IndiGo placed a historic order of 500 aeroplanes on Monday. Airbus received the biggest-ever aircraft order in the history of commercial aviation. The French company announced that the deliveries for the same will be completed between 2030 and 2035.
Before this, Tata Group-owned Air India had placed an order for 470 aircraft. While Indian carriers are adding aircraft to their fleets, buying aircraft is no cheap business. Prices of large aeroplanes run into tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars.
How much for that aircraft?
Airbus’ costliest aeroplane was the A380 which cost around $445.6 million. On the other hand, the cheapest was the A318, which cost $77 million.
