NEW DELHI: IndiGo, which placed a historic order for 500 A320s with Airbus on Monday, currently operates nearly 310 aircraft and enjoys an over 60% domestic market share. IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers said the airline will double its fleet size by 2030.
Its large orders help it have a young fleet of fuel-efficient planes through continuous replacements alongside fleet augmentation, a process slowed by current supply chain constraints.
IndiGo’s order book, comprising a mix of A320neo (new engine option), A321neo and A321XLRs (extra-long range), has almost 1,000 aircraft yet to be delivered well into the next decade.
