IndiGo<\/strong>, India\u2019s largest airline by market share, has placed a firm order for 500 A320 Family aircraft, setting the record for the biggest single purchase agreement in the history of commercial aviation. The latest agreement takes the total number of Airbus aircraft on order by IndiGo to 1,330, establishing its position as the world\u2019s biggest A320 Family customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The historic purchase agreement was signed by Rahul Bhatia, Promoter & Managing Director of IndiGo, Dr. Venkataramani Sumantran, Chairman and Non-Executive Independent Director of IndiGo, Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, Guillaume Faury, Airbus CEO, and Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of International, at the Paris Air Show 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is difficult to overstate the significance of IndiGo\u2019s new historic order for 500 Airbus A320 Family aircraft. An order book now of almost 1000 aircraft well into the next decade, enables IndiGo to fulfil its mission to continue to boost economic growth, social cohesion and mobility in India\u201d, Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis landmark order marks a new chapter in Airbus and IndiGo\u2019s relationship that is democratising affordable air travel for millions of people in the world\u2019s fastest growing aviation market. It is also a resounding endorsement of the A320 Family\u2019s best-in-class operating economics that have been powering IndiGo\u2019s growth for almost two decades\u201d, said Christian Scherer, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of International at Airbus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Delhi-headquartered IndiGo is among the fastest growing carriers in the world. Since its first A320neo aircraft was delivered in March 2016, its fleet of A320neo Family has grown into one of the world\u2019s largest with 264 aircraft in operation (162 A320neo, 79 A321neo, 21 A320ceo and 2 A321 freighters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo placed its first order with Airbus in 2005 (100 A320 Family) and again in 2011 (180 A320 Family including the NEO), in 2014 (250neo Family), and in 2019 (300 A320neo Family) taking its previous total order book to 830 A320 Family aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
