Indigo places order for 300 Airbus planes

Budget carrier IndiGo on Tuesday placed orders for 300 Airbus A320 neo family aircraft. The order comprises a mix of A320neo, A321neo and long-range A321XLR aircraft. This will take IndiGo’s total number of A320neo Family aircraft orders to 730, the airline said in a statement.

Though the company did not disclose the value of the order, according to the Airbus website, the list price of 300 aircraft works out to roughly $33-billion but airlines usually get hefty discounts on bulk orders.
