India’s largest carrier IndiGo is adding more planes to its ever-growing fleet.
It has inked an order for 30 Airbus A350 long-range jets, a first for the airline.
The order is valued at $9.5 billion based on list prices.
It includes an option to buy an additional 70 A350 jets.
Deliveries will start from 2027.
It marks a shift to expand into long haul markets.
Airbus says the deal is ‘an exciting new chapter in our close partnership with IndiGo.’
