Mumbai: India’s biggest airline IndiGo said on Monday it had placed a USD 20 billion jet engine order from CFM International, a move that marks a shift away from Pratt & Whitney toward its French-American rival.
CFM, owned by General Electric and France’s Safran, will provide the 1LEAP-1A engines to power 280 A320neo and A321neo jetliners already on order from Airbus by the Delhi-based budget carrier.
