NEW DELHI: Private carrier IndiGo has placed an order for 300 A320neo Family aircraft, worth at least $33 billion, making one of Airbus’ largest aircraft orders ever with a single airline operator.
The order comes two days after India’s aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation instructed IndiGo to change Pratt & Whitney (P&W) powered engines on 16 of its Airbus A320neos, following three separate cases of engine shutdown.
The latest order by India’s largest airline comprises a mix of A320neo, A321neo and A321XLR aircraft. This will take IndiGo’s total number of A320neo family aircraft orders to 730.
