IndiGo looking at feasibility of wide-body aircraft, but order is not imminent: CEO

Delhi-based low-cost airline IndiGo is studying the feasibility of including wide-body aircraft in its fleet but is unlikely to place an order in the near future, Ronojoy Dutta, the airline’s Chief Executive Order, said on Monday.

“For wide-body there is nothing imminent. Are we studying it? Absolutely. But are we about to place an order or do we see something happening in the near future? No,” Dutta told analysts in a telephonic interaction after announcing the airline’s fourth-quarter and full-year results.

There has been talk about IndiGo looking at placing orders for wide-body aircraft as it eyes expanding its international operations to long-haul destinations in Europe and other parts of the globe. Asked whether the airline will look at entering into allied businesses in the medium to long-term, Dutta said the company will stick to what it does.
