These are astronomical figures, unheard of in the aviation world. At a theoretical list price of $55 billion, it was revealed on the first day of the Paris Air Show by IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers, in the presence of Airbus Executive Chairman Guillaume Faury. The agreement covers aircraft to be delivered between 2030 and 2035.
The A320neo family, which also includes the larger seat-capacity A321neo, brings to no fewer than 1,230 the number of A320neo models ordered by IndiGo, which intends to capitalize on the booming demand for air travel in India. IndiGo, one of the world’s fastest-growing low-cost airlines, has already taken delivery of 253 A320neo Family aircraft.
