Indi Go - Fleet

Fleet

In order to reduce operational overhead, IndiGo operates only the Airbus A320 family of aircraft in its fleet. It generally purchases new aircraft. As of December 2012, IndiGo operates 60 such aircraft and the average fleet age is 2.3 years.

IndiGo placed an order for 100 Airbus A320 family aircraft during the 2005 Paris Air Show. The total order was worth US$6 billion, one of the highest during the show. The carrier aimed to have a fleet size of 40 aircraft by 2010, and induct all the 100 aircraft it had ordered by 2015–2016. The Indian Government has approved the airline's aircraft import plan "in principle". Indigo took delivery of its 14 Airbus A320 aircraft in 2011 and is in plans to induct 18 more in 2012.

IndiGo signed a Memorandum of Understanding for an additional 180 Airbus A320 aircraft including 150 with the New Engine Option (NEO) on January 11, 2011. This is one of the largest orders of its kind in commercial aviation history. IndiGo is also one of the launch customers of the brand new Airbus A320neo family. The cost of the order is expected to have exceeded US$ 15 billion. These aircraft will be delivered between 2016 and 2025. In February 2012, IndiGo took the delivery of its 50th aircraft. Indigo is expected to take the delivery of 45 more Airbus A320-200 until 2015.
