India’s IndiGo Makes $33bn Mega-order Of Airbus Jets
October 29, 2019
Indian airline IndiGo has placed an order for 300 A320neo family aircraft, Airbus said Tuesday, in one of its largest-ever orders from a single firm, worth over $33.2 billion at catalogue prices.
The leading Indian airline said the order would help it to keep growing fast while cutting costs.
The Airbus order stands in stark contrast to the situation faced by its direct rival, Boeing’s 737 MAX airliner, which has been grounded since March following two crashes that killed a total of 346 people.
