IndiGo to lease B-777s

IndiGo will soon lease up to four wide-body Boeing 777 planes to cover the shortfall in its global operations, according to officials.

The airline said the wet-leasing of “certain aircraft” will be done as an interim measure.

IndiGo, which has so far only been operating narrow-body Airbus planes, ATRs, and freighters, will now be having wide-body aircraft in its fleet.

Currently, the airline has more than 275 planes and operates more than 1,600 flights daily.
