FLEET ORDER - India’s IndiGo Airlines mulling A350 order


IndiGo Airlines (6E, Delhi International) is looking at the possibility of placing an order with Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) for up to thirty A350s, according to a Bloomberg News report.

The Indian LCC does not currently operate any widebodies, only wet-leasing two B777-300ERs from Turkish Airlines (TK, Istanbul Airport).

ch-aviation has asked IndiGo Airlines for comment. It declined to comment.

The ch-aviation fleets module shows that IndiGo Airlines’ fleet comprises 354 in-house aircraft - twenty A320-200s, 192 A320-200Ns, three A321-200(P2F)s, ninety-four A321-200NX, and forty-five ATR72-600s. It also wet-leases eleven A320ceo, six from SmartLynx Airlines (6Y, Riga) and five from SmartLynx Airlines Estonia (MYX, Tallinn Lennart Meri).

The carrier has a massive pending order with Airbus, totalling 940 future narrowbody airframes to be delivered. However, it has toyed with the idea of opening long-haul services, including destinations such as Amsterdam Schiphol and the United Kingdom. While the airline expects to add sixty-nine A321-200NY(XLR)s, some routes could not be directly served even with these jets, thus the need for widebodies.

IndiGo’s wet-leased B777-300ERs currently fly between Istanbul Airport and both Delhi International and Mumbai International, the ch-aviation schedules module shows.
