IndiGo has a big agreement with Airbus, airline will bring 60 wide-bodies aircraft

IndiGo signs MoU with Airbus: India’s airline company IndiGo has taken another major step towards international expansion. The company has signed a new agreement (MOU) with Airbus, under which it will double its wide-bodies aircraft order to order 60 Airbus A350-900 aircraft. This order is in addition to 30 aircraft already taken, which were included in 70 aircraft.

According to information received from IndiGo, in April 2024 last year, IndiGo took a big decision to include wide-bodies aircraft for the first time in its fleet. The company then ordered 30 Airbus A350-900 aircraft, whose delivery will start from 2027. Now, increasing this order, the company has decided to bring 30 more aircraft, due to which the total number has increased to 60.

How powerful will the new aircraft of Indigo be?

According to the information, all these A350-900 aircraft will be equipped with Trent XWB engines of Rolls Royce. Its engines are very efficient and quite good for long routes, which will help IndiGo start new international flights. This expansion will give IndiGo the ability to start more flights to its partner International Airlines Hubs.

In March 2025, the company started 6 wide-body aircraft in its fleet

According to information received from IndiGo, in March 2025, IndiGo began to include six temporarily rented wide-bodies aircraft in its fleet. The delivery of all these aircraft will be completed by 2026. This step is part of the company’s preparation for long distance international services.

This step of Indigo will give India a new height on the world stage

Overall, if we talk, India has become the third largest aviation market in the world today. The central government is strengthening the infrastructure to develop the country as a global aviation center. In such a situation, steps like Indigo will prove to be a new height on India on the world stage.
