The leading low-cost carrier (LCC) of India – IndiGo – recently received its 100th aircraft. Based in Gurgaon, it operates hundreds of flights with a fleet size of over 80 models, from the primary hub at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI), Delhi. This airline is the largest service provider in the region with the market share of more than 32 per cent. It provides cheap airline tickets for over 40 national and international destinations. In order to reduce the overhead cost, this LCC operates Airbus models only, and the recently received is an A320. It is a part of the bulk order placed by the airline back in 2005; some of them are still in the process of manufacturing.
Apart from new orders, it also signed a deal with the Tigerair regarding 12 models on lease and these deliveries started in the month of October. These additions in the fleet have been reflected in the IndiGo airlines booking option list as well. It initiated operations on new routes and increased the number of flights on the existing ones. As per reports, the new aircraft landed at the IGI Airport in the morning, making this carrier a part of the league of Jet Airways and Air India with more than 100 aircraft. It placed an order with the France-based manufacturer – Airbus – for 250 aircraft, one of the largest orders placed in the aviation industry that has been evaluated at a price of approximately $25.5 billion. The fast growing LCC is a loyal customer of Airbus models and has placed many bulk orders with the company since its inception.
The president of this carrier said that collection of the 100th model is a milestone. It is expected that many such milestones will be created in the coming years. The Indian aviation industry is enjoying a good period in terms of business as a significant number of new fliers avail these services every day. With the supportive policies and terms of the government, many global airlines want to set up their airline in the country. AirAsia – the Malaysia based airline is a recent example to be followed by Vistara.
