IndiGo to operate 4 wide-body Boeing crafts for the first time

For the first time, the country’s largest airline IndiGo will soon lease up to four wide-body Boeing 777 planes to cover the shortfall in its international 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.

IndiGo has decided to induct up to four Boeing 777 aircraft on a wet-lease basis. There will be Boeing 777-200 LRs and Boeing 777-300 ERs, which will be deployed,
