IndiGo plans order for up to 50 Airbus A330 wide-bodies
IndiGo plans to order as many as 50 Airbus A330 wide-body jets as it seeks to expand beyond short-haul flights, people with knowledge of the matter said. The carrier aims to take the upgraded A330neo version of the plane, according the people. The deal would be worth US$13b at list prices for the smaller of two variants, though some of the aircraft are likely to options to be confirmed later. IndiGo is developing plans for long-haul flights after building up a fleet of more than 150 Airbus A320 narrow-body planes used within the region. The carrier looked at the Boeing 787 and Airbus’s larger A350 before settling on the A330neo. Quick delivery times and the ease of retraining A320 pilots for the jet were a factor in the decision, one person said. <br/>
