From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As of July 2024, IndiGo operates a fleet of both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft with a fleet consisting of Airbus A320-200, A320neo, A321neo, ATR 72-600 as well as the Boeing 777 (wet-leased from Turkish Airlines), making for a total of 378 aircraft.

Over 80% of IndiGo's aircraft are narrow-bodies. It is the largest A320neo operator in the world.

Fleet development

[edit]
  • In June 2005, IndiGo placed an order for 100 Airbus A320-200 aircraft worth US$6 billion during the Paris Air Show with plans to commence operations in mid-2006.[1][2][3]
  • In July 2006, the airline received its first A320. The arline planned to induct 100 aircraft by 2015–2016.[4]
  • on 11 January 2011, IndiGo signed a memorandum of understanding for an additional 180 Airbus A320 aircraft including 150 with the New Engine Option (NEO) worth US$15 billion.
  • In 2012, the airline took delivery of its 50th aircraft[5] and the 100th aircraft was delivered on 4 November 2014, completing its initial order ahead of schedule.[6]
  • The Airbus A320neo family aircraft ordered in 2011 were to be delivered starting 2015.[7] However, due to a delay in the production and delivery of these aircraft, IndiGo dry-leased a total of 22 used aircraft to cope with the demand.[8]
  • On 15 October 2014, IndiGo expressed its intention to order a further 250 A320neo aircraft worth US$25.7 billion at list prices.[9]
  • On 15 August 2015, IndiGo confirmed the order for 250 A320neo aircraft for $26.5 billion. The order also provides IndiGo the flexibility to convert some A320neos to A321neoLRs that can seat more passengers and fly on longer routes.[10] The order for 250 jets was Airbus' single largest order by number of aircraft.[11]
  • IndiGo received the first A320neo in March 2016.[12][13]
  • On 10 October 2019, Airbus delivered its 1000th A320neo aircraft to IndiGo.[14]
  • In May 2017, IndiGo tentatively signed for 50 ATR 72-600 for the UDAN regional connectivity scheme, to be delivered from the year end for up to 20 by the end of 2018.[15]
  • On 17 November 2017, IndiGo took delivery of its first ATR 72-600.[16]
  • On 29 October 2019, IndiGo placed a firm order for 300 A320neo Family aircraft comprising a mix of 87 A320neo, 144 A321neo and 69 A321XLR, taking IndiGo's total number of A320neo Family aircraft orders to 730.[17]
  • In May 2023, IndiGo inducted its first wide-body aircraft, a Boeing 777-300ER wet leased from Turkish Airlines.[18]
  • In June 2023, the airline placed an order for 500 Airbus A320neo family aircraft worth $55 billion excluding potential bulk-order concessions.[19] It is the largest single aircraft order in commercial aviation history with deliveries between 2030 and 2035.[20]
  • On 25 April 2024, IndiGo signed a deal for 30 Airbus A350-900s, with rights to purchase another 70 aircraft with Airbus, at a cost of US$5 billion, thereby taking the total number to a hundred wide-body aircraft. This order marked the airline's entry to consist and operate wide-body aircraft for the first time in its history in a full-fledged way, as part of its long-term future plans. The deliveries of these aircraft will begin from 2027.[21][22]
  • Since May 2024, IndiGo is also planning to place an order of at least a hundred smaller, regional aircraft such as the ATR-72, the Airbus A220 or the Embraer E175, to further give impetus on regional expansion and connectivity.[23]
