IndiGo has initiated a freighter programme and is in the process of sourcing four A321ceo aircraft, each of which will be converted from passenger jets to a full-freighter configuration, the carrier said on Wednesday.
Business Standard had earlier reported about IndiGo’s plan to acquire frieghters.
IndiGo is expected to take the delivery of its first freighter in the first half of next year. The plane will be used for both domestic and regional missions. The other three aircraft in the initial commitment are likely to arrive within a year or so from the arrival of the first freighter, and further aircraft may be sourced depending on market development.
