Airbus isn’t delivering planes fast enough, IndiGo says
Airbus isn’t delivering planes fast enough. That’s the verdict of IndiGo, the biggest customer for Airbus’s A320neo jets. Delay in getting planes on time is forcing the airline to slow down the pace of expansion, executives said. “The issue is on the supply side,” CE Ronojoy Dutta said Thursday, while answering a question on replacing older jets. “The reason why we are not growing fast enough is because we are not getting airplanes fast enough from Airbus.” IndiGo, which has ordered 430 A320neo jets on top of 100 for the older version of the aircraft, is embarking on an ambitious expansion plan, especially in international markets, seeking to eventually connect cities such as London with New Delhi. The airline controls almost half of the domestic market, and is in talks with Airbus for another large order. <br/>
