Budget carrier IndiGo Monday announced that it has placed a $20-billion order for LEAP-1A engines with US-based CFM International to power its future fleet of 280 narrow body aircraft.
Calling it the “largest ever single engine order in history”, the airline said that “delivery of the first LEAP-1A-powered A320neo is scheduled in 2020.”
IndiGo has been a CFM customer since 2016 and currently operates a fleet of 17 A320ceo aircraft powered by CFM56-5B engines.
