Airbus, the European aviation major is going to start delivering new engine technology aircraft A320neos to Indigo from next month.
IndiGo has said in a release that “We are delighted to announce that Airbus has confirmed that beginning with March 2016, it will deliver 24 fuel efficient A320neos aircraft to the airline between March 2016 and March 2017 as compared to the original plan to deliver 26 A320neos.”
Aditya Ghosh, IndiGo President said that “The new A320neos powered by Pratt and Whitney’s fuel efficient geared turbo fan engines will enable us to structurally reduce our costs as fuel continues to be the single largest element of our cost structure.”
He further said that “This also marks the beginning of the next phase of IndiGo’s growth and will enable it to make air transportation far more accessible for the flyers.”
