The country’s largest airline IndiGo on Friday said it has sought aviation regulator DGCA’s approval to wet lease Boeing 777 aircraft, which will be utilised for operating flights on the Delhi-Istanbul route.
This will be the first time that the carrier will be inducting wide-body planes into its fleet and the move also comes against the backdrop of global supply chain issues impacting aircraft deliveries.
The airline will wet-lease two aircraft, according to a senior official at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
