In For The Long-Haul: IndiGo Orders 30 Airbus A350-900 Jets

It’s official! After months of speculation, IndiGo has finally announced a widebody order and has gone for the Airbus A350. The low-cost airline is the largest carrier in India, with more than 60% of domestic market share. IndiGo has been eyeing long-haul international routes and first ventured into this side of the market by wet leasing widebody planes and entering codeshare agreements. And so, once these A350s begin to arrive, the carrier can begin operating long-haul services with its own metal.

Damn. They already have pending orders of around 1000 aircrafts and now they are stepping into long hauls. Big plans for them

[mandandi]

So, the A350 has received around 100 orders so far this year. Nice.

[raihanrudro]

This aircraft is gonna be the most popular aircraft in the world

Second low-cost airline to operate the A350 after French Bee

Nice for indigo! The airline is hopping into long haul market

[SFFRN]

Now Airbus and Boeing should consider setting up assembly if not manufacturing plants in India.

They'll probably do 10 abreast like Frenchbee

[rrewy]

Brilliant news for both companies, certainly made the correct choice, great news for RR too.

Imagine how many seats this fit with 3-4-3 when Cebu Pacific fits 450 seats in A330neo 😂

[wadehiggins]

Yes! Great move, Indigo, and congratulations to both parties 🥳 🎉 👏

[ayushc]

they have their bussiness class out... pretty sure they are moving from a budget carrier to a full service carrier... I love that.

[alimohammed]

the gulf carrier are not going to like this after air india its indigo now

[stradivarioushardhiantz]

Low Cost A350-1000 works for French Bee

[Mchannnel]

Finally there’s a chance to visit Europe (possibly London) from Japan relatively cheaply🎉

[sainnt]

Most likely Indigo will order their aircraft with the 10-abreast seating configuration.

[DrunkeGeneral]

Rather than compete with air India this imo will compete more with the gulf carriers.

[tabishzaidi]

A350 is my favourite commercial aircraft.

[IndiGoIndiaAFS]

Damn this blue bird looking much much beautiful proud to be indian 😊❤

[martinavery]

Elbers, wasn't he CEO of KLM? Not impressed with the 787???

[SaiCharanReddy-ozez]

Hopefully Indigo can run this airbus A350s from India to Australia without any stop
