IndiGo actively looking at wide-body planes, biz class on long haul routes
New Delhi, Nov 14 () Pursuing aggressive expansion plans, low-cost carrier IndiGo is actively considering operating wide-body planes with business class seats for long haul routes like London and Tokyo, a senior official said on Thursday.
IndiGo CEO Ronojoy Dutta said the airline might also look at Boeing planes for long haul flights, those that are more than nine hours duration.
The airline, which started 11 new destinations in the last one year starting from October, recently placed a firm order for 300 aircraft from Airbus 320 neo family. Currently, it has a fleet of around 245 planes.
“We are studying about wide body (planes) but we have not made a decision. It is not imminent but it is on the drawing table… We are studying it actively,” he told in an interview.
