IndiGo on Sunday (June 1) announced a significant expansion of its wide-body fleet, confirming an additional order for 30 Airbus A350-900 aircraft. This builds upon its initial order placed in April 2024, when the airline secured 30 A350 with purchase rights for 70 more. At a press conference, IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers formally announced the new order, stating, “It was last year that IndiGo signed a deal with Airbus for buying 30 Airbus A350-900s, with 30 firm orders and 70 purchase rights. Today, we’re confirming our intention to convert 30 of those 70 purchase rights into firm orders.” Elbers signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus during the event, formalising the agreement.
