The country's largest airline Indigo is ready to spread across the sky. For this, the airline has done complete planning. If this planning materialises, Indigo will break the record of the country's oldest airline Air India which it had made a few months back. Yes, Tata Group's Air India did the world's biggest aircraft deal. In which there was talk of buying 470 aircraft. Now Indigo is preparing to break this record. According to the information, Indigo is planning to deal with Airbus for 500 aircraft. Which will be the biggest deal in the aviation industry so far. The total value of this deal can be 50 billion dollars based on the current prices. Let us also tell you what kind of information has come out about this.
Indigo will buy 500 aircraft
Indigo has planned to buy 500 aircraft to monopolize the Indian aviation industry. A meeting of the Air Transport Association was held in Istanbul on Sunday. In this meeting, the value of this deal has been almost sealed. This deal can be worth 50 billion dollars. Airbus is the largest aircraft maker in Europe. The company is engaged in finalizing the deal to sell 500 narrowbody A320 aircraft to Indigo. The special thing is that Airbus will also give 50 percent discount to Indigo in this deal. This means that IndiGo will have to buy 500 aircraft for just $25 billion.
Planning has been going on since March
On the other hand, experts say that apart from Airbus, Boeing is also talking about giving Indigo A33 Neo and Boeing 787. By the way, no official statement has come out from both these aircraft makers. Earlier in the month of March, there was a buzz of this deal. In which it was being said that Indigo is planning to include a large number of aircraft in its fleet. For this, talks are going on with both Boeing and Airbus. At present, Indigo has 56 percent stake in the Indian aviation sector.
Tata has ordered 470 aircraft
On the other hand, Tata's Air India also made the biggest aircraft deal in the month of February. At that time Air India had placed an order for 470 aircraft. If this deal of Indigo becomes final, it will leave Tata far behind in the race to include aircraft in its fleet. This means that Tata may also face a big blow as it is cherishing dreams of making Air India the country's largest airline.
830 planes will be ordered
Indigo CEO Alvars attended the meeting of the International Air Transport Association. No comment has come from their side regarding this. Airbus has already placed an order for 350 aircraft on behalf of Indigo. If the new deal also becomes final, it will be the company to order 830 aircraft to Airbus. Along with this, Indigo can also become the biggest customer of Airbus.
