IndiGo gets DGCA nod to wet lease 11 A320 planes

Aviation watchdog DGCA has given approval to IndiGo to wet lease 11 A320 planes as the country’s largest airline grapples with capacity challenges due to P&W engine woes, according to officials.

IndiGo, which operates more than 1,800 flights daily with a fleet of over 300 aircraft, is expanding its network on domestic and international routes.

Around 40 planes of IndiGo are grounded due to Pratt & Whitney engine issues.

Against this backdrop, the carrier has decided to wet lease narrow-body A320 aircraft to meet rising travel demand.
