IndiGo, which placed its first-ever order for widebody planes last Thursday, is now on the path to establish itself as a global aviation player and make India a global aviation hub, said its Chief Executive Officer, Pieter Elbers, on Tuesday.
“We have demonstrated over the years that we maintain a cost leadership (lowest unit cost in India). On top of that, we are exploring this opportunity, and we are taking a number (30 wide-body aircraft) which will be meaningful enough to have an impact yet prudent enough not to move into a direction where we may face some headwinds. That balance of being impactful enough and prudent enough is reflected in the order,” Elbers said during a conference with industry analysts.
