Indian budget carrier IndiGo<\/strong> is in talks with both Boeing and its current supplier Airbus to order more than 500 passenger jets, potentially smashing an industry record set by domestic rival Air India a few weeks ago, industry sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India’s largest airline has until now been an exclusive buyer of narrow-body jets from Airbus and French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said last month that IndiGo was close to ordering several hundred planes from the European planemaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But negotiations to keep renewing the budget carrier’s fleet from the end of the decade have also broadened to include mid-sized wide-body jets, sparking a contest between Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner and the upgraded Airbus A330neo, the sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo, owned by InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, is also comparing the A320neo with the Boeing 737 MAX as it weighs a major new order for narrow-body jets, they added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An IndiGo representative told Reuters<\/a> the airline is constantly in talks with manufacturers as it plans its next phase of growth. “However, we haven’t finalised anything till now.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo, which counts a 55% share of the domestic market, is widely expected to maintain Airbus as its supplier of narrow-body jets to squeeze out further economies of scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is already one of Airbus’s largest customers and has so far ordered a total of 830 Airbus A320-family jets of which 488 are still to be delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Indian analysts say Airbus will face a tougher fight for the wide-body order. In a departure from its single-aisle strategy, IndiGo last month began international operations with a Boeing 777, its first wide-body aircraft, taken from codeshare partner Turkish Airlines, which provides the pilots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
