To fuel its long-haul growth ambitions, rising Indian carrier IndiGo has placed an order for 60 Airbus A350-900s, in addition to options for an additional 40 of these jets, meaning the airline would eventually fly 100 of Airbus’ flagship wide body aircraft.

The airline expects to take delivery of its first A350s as of 2027.

This is truly an exciting time for aviation in India, and this low-cost airline is set to become one of the world’s largest carriers in the coming years.
