Converts MoU To Bring Total Order To 60 Aircraft
Airbus announced that IndiGo, India’s largest airline, finalized a commitment for 30 additional A350-900 aircraft by converting a June 2025 Memorandum of Understanding to a firm order. The addition brings IndiGo’s total A350 order to 60 aircraft, and signals a strategic move as the airline preps to enter the international long-haul market.
The purchase of the long-range A350 supports the airline’s ambition to become a larger player in the global air travel market. India is the world’s fastest growing aviation market and is also seeing a wave of international travel as the country’s economy grows and household incomes rise along with it.
Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo explained, “Today is a special day for IndiGo as we solidify our commitment to expanding our international footprint and offering unparalleled connectivity to our customers. The conversion of this MoU into a firm order for 30 additional A350-900s is a testament to our confidence in the future of Indian aviation and our strategic partnership with Airbus, further reinforced by the strong start of our long-haul operations.
“In line with India’s vision of becoming a global aviation hub and our aspiration to establish ourselves as a leading global aviation player by 2030, IndiGo is taking decisive steps forward. These aircraft, as they join our fleet in the years to come, will play a pivotal role in enabling IndiGo to expand its reach, connect India with more destinations across the globe, and offer our customers new international travel opportunities.”
Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Executive Vice President for Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business at Airbus said, “The A350’s unparalleled fuel efficiency, range and passenger comfort perfectly align with IndiGo’s ambitious growth plans and international long-haul network ambitions. This milestone reinforces our strong partnership with one of the fastest-growing airlines in the world, and we look forward to supporting their expansion into new long-haul markets.”
