InterGlobe Aviation Inks MoU With Airbus For 30 More A350-900 Jets

InterGlobe Aviation announced Sunday it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus to buy an additional 30 wide-body A350-900 aircraft. This move is part of IndiGo’s long-term plan to expand its international operations, the company said in an exchange filing.

The new order aims to boost the airline’s long-haul international network and connect Indian metros with global destinations. IndiGo’s A350-900 jets will be powered by Rolls-Royce’s Trent XWB engines.

In March, IndiGo started its journey into long-haul flying by introducing six leased wide-body aircraft, with deliveries expected to complete by 2026.

Earlier, in April 2024, IndiGo placed a firm order for 30 A350-900 jets and secured purchase rights for 70 more. Deliveries for that original order are scheduled to begin in 2027.
